I know every month has 8 million awareness causes. November is also national novel writing month (because I know you are dying to know that). But I am not planning on writing a novel (yet) so let me get back on topic.
If you follow my blog you know I'm adopted. When I was dating my husband I made a point of telling him I wanted to adopt. His response, "no problem". But he wanted to try having our own kids first.
Well the years passed. So did the miscarriages. I watched other people around me get pregnant and have families. It was hard. So I broached the subject of adoption again. This time I got the green light.
So I did the research. I was all ready to hop a plane and fly to a foreign country to get a baby. But then I looked at the cost. It was staggering. My every practical husband suggested that we "adopt local". So we did.
It wasn't easy. It took three long years and lots of broken hearts. Long nights and days of crying. But then Marvin came home to us.
He was 18 months old and had special needs. But looking at him made those three years worth it. So very worth it.
So the years passed. We still felt that our family wasn't complete. So we went through another couple of years of paper slogging. And then Cary Lynn came home.
It hasn't been easy. Choosing to adopt can be a challenge in itself. Taking a leap of giant faith and adopting two children with massive special needs has added to the challenge.
But it has been an amazing journey. The bumps in the road have made me a stronger person. These two little people took my world and turned it upside down. They are my all and my everything. My heroes. They have made me the person I am today.
But right now there is a growing need. There are over 397,000 children in the US who are living without permanent families. Out of those 101,666 are legally free for adoption. But nearly 32% of these children will wait 3 or more years for a mama to bake cookies with them and a daddy who will tuck them in at night. Every child needs a place to belong. There is NO such thing as unadoptable.
Children are our hope and future. Children who age out of the system are more likely to NOT finish school, end up in jail, and even worse repeat the same cycles that they lived through. That is not OK. They deserve more. Adoption is a powerful way to bring permanence to a child's life and to let them know that they do matter.
So this month whether you choose to celebrate national novel writing month, tree awareness week, world vegan day, or national maintenance week keep in mind that there are so many waiting children who want nothing more than to celebrate these special times with family.
It's not an easy road to take, but it is one of the most incredible journeys and rewarding experiences that you will ever have. Trust me on this one.

Adopting means ALOT and it breaks your heart knowing there is million of kids out there in and out of foster care and thats why my wife and I are going to be adopting. We are waiting for the MAPP class papers to come in the mail so we can get part started. Wish us luck :-)

You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr. Odunga.
ReplyDeleteWhen I met Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman of 41 and I have been married for 21 years. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age until when I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after 5 months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me with child. He did the spell and sent me the natural herbs for fertility that I will use and immediately I used this medicine, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a baby girl. Presently, I am a mother of a beautiful girl and I am happy in my marriage. This is all thanks to Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Dr. Odunga Via Whats App number +2348167159012.
