Tomorrow is the first day of July...(hard to believe with the weather we have been having)..This month it is a year that I started this adoption process. I attended the orientation in July last year. Honestly I thought I would have a child by now, and been a least halfway into the adoption process...but apparently it hasn't been meant to be. I know...I know...when the right child comes along, blah blah blah....frankly I am sick of hearing this. I am going to have to take all those classes that I took to get certified all over, and I haven't even held a child...
I see children everyday at work, and this week happened to be a week of newborns. Well of course that doesn't help. So when this mother, who said she loved me and thanked me because I told her I would do everything I could to make it so she could keep this baby, asked me if I wanted to hold her 2 week old baby, I was almost afraid. I mean, I feel glad that she is getting clean and finally wants to parent her 4th child....BUT (and i feel bad for feeling like this) I thought, "couldn't i give that baby a good home, maybe even better"......or the little baby I saw who's parents thought that it was OK for a baby to sleep on her stomach, because she threw up when she was on her back...DUH..that's what baby's do. Yet here I sit, waiting, as well as some of my closest friends who are having trouble getting pregnant. I want to scream and yell...when will it be my time??? It makes no sense to me. Even when I think about it, it makes me cry.
I don't even know what to do with this....there are babies everywhere...A few friends have recently given birth to adorable babies, people I grew up with are having their second and third...it seems everywhere I look there are babies, or women that are pregnant. It is so freaking frustrating, and I feel like maybe I wasn't meant to a mother. Though I thought that was really the only thing I was put on this earth to do. I have a great role model, and am ready to pass that on...and of course, tweak things to do it the "Jordonna Way."
I know that things could be so much worse, and everyday I get up and try to have a positive attitude. I just want to thank everyone for your love and support.
