I keep feeling frustrated about our adoption. I'm not getting much support from my fundraising endeavors. I advertised the raffle party we had more then enough, but still no one showed up except a few close friends and family. It's so frustrating to want something so bad, but know that you have to rely on the kindness of strangers to help you get there. Why can people who don't want kids or care anything about the ones they have pop them out like crazy. Yet I have to work and save and skimp in order to adopt and get very little support???
On top of all this I'm not sure how on board Kevin is. I know he is worried about the finances, but do I wait until I can actually afford it? Are you every really able to afford it? It's a big expense, but worth every penny!! How do I get him on the same page as me? We aren't getting any younger!!! LOL :)

Hi. I'm catching up on everyone's blog and wanted to say how frustrating everything can be. I'm a Labor and Delivery nurse and through our infertility issues it was soooo hard some days to go to work. Some days I would have to walk out of the room and cry. Some people don't get what a gift from God they have. I also think that a lot of people want to support us during the adoption but they also don't really understand that you sometimes need more than supporting words. I see from the above post that your prayers are getting answered!
ReplyDeleteNow I have a picture of a our Matthew (our Gift from God) and I am so thankful that God has answered our prayers. I know it is sooo easy to say that everything will work out. I'm sure there will still be bumps in the road, but we can handle them.
I'm so exctited to see that your going to get a newborn. Good luck and God Bless!
