Shopping

Here where I live there's a website of kids

I imagine that's how it is everywhere

it's a big odd -- but I understand that's the best tool they have.

there are sisters that I'm continually drawn to

they're 12 and 14 -- I remember seeing them online when they were 10 and 12

and it makes me sad that they're still there

but there's lots of kids who've been waiting for a long time

I wonder why I'm so drawn to these two

and I'm not even sure I want to adopt children that age

but there they are

in their photo

looking like my kids

  1. Oh. Maybe they are. That would be a big commitment though. I get that you are making a big commitment, wanting to make a big commitment, but this is a different kind of commitment. But it does seem like maybe they are your children. Or maybe they are just too far from what you wanted, what you want.

    Good luck.

  2. Is there a way to meet them without their knowing that you are considering adopting? See the real them and not their best foot?

    Good luck, Momma.

  3. Then you know.

    We saw middle son (and his sisters) on tv, WEdnesdays child...and i knew. Instantly.

    It didn't work out with the girls, not fully. (and i can give you more info on that privately if you wish)

    But when we saw them, we knew.

  4. I know it's not nearly the same, but the minute I saw Melvin's (my dog's) picture on the humane society's website, I knew he was mine. Even though the shelter closed at 6pm and it was 5:45, I called and they agreed to let me see him. You are drawn to them for a reason.

    P.S. I wanted to say something about "discernment' but i couldn't figure out what so I was going to skip it. Then my word verification was disenmen and i thought that was close enough that i'd better come back and just give you the word. Discernment.
