MY ADDICTION…
Last week, I finally admitted to the world the intensity of my addiction. Call it – a Freudian slip – or something…
This week, as I was filling out a questionnaire for life insurance, aliens took over my body (or blame it on the 107 heat here in Texas), as I began checking YES down the page.
YES – I have or currently use cocaine, marijuana, opiates, heroin, etc.
YES – I have or currently are seeking treatment for alcoholism….
Oops! I must be delirious from the heat.
I completed a NEW form yesterday!
ADOPTION…
May be around the corner – This week, our 1-year-old foster baby’s birth mother will be voluntarily relinquishing her parental rights!!! Lil Bit will officially be available for adoption by the end of the month!!!
Thanks for all your support, advice, prayers during this time. Last month, I came to a peace about Lil Bit being our child – thanks for all your prayers!
Now the next hurdle – and it’s a HUGE one – is his citizenship. You see, Lil Bit is a Mexican citizen. Who knows how long it will take to make this baby citizen of the United States??? I’ve already begun teaching him the Pledge of Allegiance – even though – the only word he says right now is, of course, Dada!
This will probably turn into a type of international adoption before it’s over!
AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE…
I loved this post by Kristin at Adventures of a Betty Crocker Wanna Be writing about the day she received her special gift of her son, Cooper.
Here is a really neat post at Grown in My Heart of 2 brothers separated by adoption reunited years later. Isn’t that such a great photo?
And if you haven’t seen this post by Kristen at Rage Against the Minivan – Who doesn’t just love it when an adoption is finalized?
Check out Wendi Aarons’ post on Fun Things to Do When the Heat Index is 107 Degrees!
(I kind of like the idea of a snow cone bra.)
Have a great week and come back tomorrow to hear a continuation of our love story!
Don’t forget to link up your funny posts, pictures, stories, etc. on Friday!
Hugs to y’all!
