I'm gonna be a Mommy!!!


Yeah I'm as shocked as all of you. Well......anyways, I put in an application for adoption, thinking it'd be months maybe even years before I was granted approval. Well, imagine my shock when I got a call saying there was a match already if I was still interested. Here I am thinking, my goodness my house isn't finished yet, I've just gotten off crutches, I hadn't broken the news to my family yet that I was even looking into this.....but if I didn't accept would that ruin my changes for the future. And honestly, I'd sworn after loosing my last one I'd never put myself through this ever again.

Well, I asked some questions of the person on the phone.....I found out it's a little girl I'm being called about, she is just a baby at 10wks of age, she's got brown hair brown eyes, she's energectic and playful, she's an absolute doll.....just one catch she's of colored heritage and would I be willing to adopt her anyways being that I am of caucasian heritage. They asked me if I was prepared for having a baby in the house. Reminded me of the crying, and fussing, and how there could be no more sleeping in, cause she will need constant supervision as she grows.

I am kinda worried about that heritage part, but I think considering my background that I can handle it. Nothing a little studying and training can't fix right. So after a long long time of thinking about it.....I've decieded to contact them and let them know I think I am ready to accept the responcibility of being a new mommy.

I'll keep you posted on what happens. I don't know yet if they have offered her to someone else yet or not. I'm hoping she's still available, but if not I'm willing to accept the next one they offer. I should know something for sure in a week or two.

Wether it works out or not I'll let you all know, but I was just dying to tell someone, I'm so excited.

Fuzzy.......hehehehe....waiting to see who figures this out

This may sound a bit convoluted... but follow along with me. When I go to a restaurant and I get something completely different than what I order, as long as it's something I CAN eat (no allergies, etc), I accept it... the reason being, I think that it is a controlled way for me to experience something that I hadn't expected. Often, it turns out to be a very fulfilling experience... I get to try something new, and develop a new favorite. If you're the spiritual sort... perhaps it is God telling me to "have this instead".

With that in mind... You opened up your heart to bring a new person into your family... and your call was answered... sooner than you had hoped, and perhaps not exactly what you were thinking... If it were me... I would RUN! not walk... and accept her. Pick up the phone right now.

There's a reason it happened.

Congratulations!

Okay. Im thinking youve adopted a puppy, or maybe a kitty. So how is it going? Its hard to believe puppies are so much work. I have a 9 month old Chocolate lab. I think hes worse than having a kid around at times. lol

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, someone finally got it. I was adopting a chocolate lab puppy....unfortuneately I got told this afternoon that the people who wanted to give her away are going to keep her a bit longer to appease their 6 year old son who doesn't want them to get rid of HIS puppy. Even though the parents say they don't have room for a lab once she gets bigger....I actually feel sorry for this puppy....the owners are keeping her for the wrong reasons.

So I am heart broken, by not getting my puppy now after all, and don't know if I'll continue looking at this time or not. I truely hate people who are so undecided about such things. These people think they can keep the dog for a while longer and then if they decide later to get rid of her to contact me.......like I am gonna wait weeks or months to get this puppy.......and what so they can say again oh no we've reconsidered again and we're gonna go ahead and keep her.

So the answer to how's it going is IT's NOT going right now.........and I was really looking forward to getting this puppy too.

Labs are my favorite, but in Oct. I adopted a weinie/chihuahua mix... she's been AWFUL to train... very stubborn!! Labs are awesome once you get 'em past the 2 year mark... As soon as my kids grow up and move out (and take all their pets) I'll be getting at least 2 labs...

Congrats sweetie!! I'm sorry about last night... I am happy for you! I know this is something you've secretly looked forward for a long time... and I'm happy that you'll be able to do that. I'm just preoccupied with everything going on in my life right now, I'm afraid I haven't been much of a friend... I'm sorry!!
