Whatever, always some reason to get out of doing what's right

birthmom — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:16:54 -0500

Two wrongs don't make a right! God can handle anything. I was raped and my daughter is the most beautiful perfect girl ever! I disagree..I think Pro-Choice supporters are a bunch of wimps. If I had to pick someone to have my back out of a crowd of strangers..you bet Id ask who was a democrat first, and weed out the sissy's!

Your a woman, be happy yu CAN give life!!!

(and pro-choice means pro-abortion! to do nothing is to be just as guilty)Woman's right is what I believe too, just I stand for the litle girl inside the womb's right also.

So Many Kids, So Few Parents

midlifemuse — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 22:17:24 -0500

There are so many more children out there who need a family. It's such an amazing thing to bring a child into a family--however that happens.

We Need Happy Endings

midlifemuse — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 22:14:35 -0500

Once in a while I think we need a happy ending to laugh and shed happy tears over. Especially these days when everyone's stressed over the economy. Glad you enjoyed the post and thanks so much for the congrats. The Peanut is a blessing every day--even when she's doing her 4-year old drama queen routine!

So Right

That it is. The sisterhood, I mean. Who would have thought we'd all find it in the blogosphere? What an unexpected gift!

Great Idea

I am so in favor for parents who are adopting kids. It is a good help and besides it helps the kid developing self-esteem.

Myths and Motherhood

rebellious thinker — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:19:32 -0500

The falseness of the fairytale: we find Prince Charming as soon as we wish him present; we get pregnant as soon as we wish it; and that Prince Charming really is a prince and really is charming. At least there are ways to work around the falsehoods of that myth and create beautiful lives for ourselves and our children.

Enjoy the fullness of life with and through your daughter.

I hadn't thought of it that way

LizzieH — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:07:06 -0500

I hadn't thought of it that way before, but you are right about it being labor! I just finished up six months of collecting paperwork, filling out forms, asking friends to write letters of recommendation, getting things notarized, attending classes, being interviewed...tomorrow morning I get fingerprinted by the Department of Homeland Security as the last step! And then I'll settle in for a six-to-twelve month wait. It's the uncertainty about when exactly the call will come that I think will come close to killing me...but I'm convinced it will be worth it.

Congrats on the Peanut!

Bravo

I am always inspired by the sheer determination and unwavering commitment that the adoption process brings out in every impatiently waiting parent. After you have your baby (in your arms) you too, will brag about the endless hours of labor that you went through to become a Mom. Yes, adoptive parents experience labor pains too.

I hope you'll let me know when your little one arrives.

Goodnight.

I dreamed about being a Mom from the time I was a little girl. I just knew that I would get married and have 4 children and be happy and content. When I made the decision to adopt, it was because deep in my heart of hearts, I knew I was meant to be a Mom. What a beautiful word - besheret. Thank you for sharing.

Every night I find myself gazing at my daughter while she sleeps, still in awe of my little miracle. That moment is forever burned into my memory; it was the beginning of my very own 'happily ever after.'

Peace.

Congratulations to your sister and family

It's a tragedy what your sister had to endure to adopt her daughter. No person compassionate and conscientious enough to care for an ailing parent should be forced to endure so much bureaucracy.

Thank you for sharing the happy ending.

MiniHaHa — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:16:32 -0500

If I need to have an abortion, it is my LEGAL right! While I am NOT pro-abortion, I AM pro-choice! What I do with my body is none of your business! All of you who are "pro-life" are so hypocritical! You don't mind seeing legislation that will force women who are raped or have become impregnated by incest, to give birth to these fetuses, but once they are born, if they make it, all the social programs that will help to take care of them are almost always voted down by Republicans.

Thank you!

Thanks - it's nice to know that people are getting something out of what I write!

All the best to your sister and the Peanut,

Compliments--Bring 'Em On

Thanks so much for the compliment. And not in a positive tit for tat way, but I really do enjoy reading your postings as well. A blogging sisterhood.

Rooting for You

midlifemuse — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 16:12:39 -0500

Liz-- I spent a lot of time reading your blog on your journey. Got me distracted from getting this post up--but in a good way. Can't wait to virtually celebrate your success in the adoption process. Thanks for writing what you do--wish there had been something like that for Meno Mom to read when she was in the throes.
