Today I am thankful to everyone who reads my blog. People make such nice comments and send me such nice emails! I enjoy writing the blog, it makes me focus everyday on being grateful. It makes writers want to keep writing when they have readers! Without all of you, I would be a readerless writer! Last night I couldn't sleep! I turned on the TV and there wasn't much on. I went to the program with Joel Osteen. His sermon was about "God's time, " not our time. I hope it is all true. He kept saying that God knows what we need and what we want. I would have to say that adopting the girls was a moment of Divine intervention. I had never thought about adopting, I got pregnant easily each time. I remember the day that Dan came home and told me that his friends were going to Ukraine to adopt a baby boy. They were also bereaved parents and I thought they were out of their minds! But that conversation must have planted a divine intervention seed in my mind. Several years later, I told Dan that I wanted to adopt. He said OK. The adoptions happened because of Dan's friendship with Pam and John. I don't think Dan ever thought I would really follow through with it because there was a ton of paperwork to do. I don't know if I even thought we would really adopt. Doing the paperwork kept me busy for months on end. And Ukraine closed their adoptions twice while I was in the middle of paperwork and I had to redo it all twice! I am so glad we did follow through with the adoptions because Ukraine gave me two of my most precious gifts. After we adopted, my friend Jackie had told me that she and her husband would have considered adopting EXCEPT..........they didn't want to go through the girl teenage years again!! I had forgotten all about the female teen years, I call those years the years of parental abuse! I think that Amy must have had something to do with it. I don't know that but I hope it is all true. Speaking of Amy, I have an appointment with a psychic on March 26th, my sister made the appointment for me because I didn't want the psychic to know my name and be able to google anything! Because of the trial and newspapers, there is a ton of information about Amy and us online. I hope I get some messages from her that are not generic in nature. Being a bereaved mom for so long, I know what people want to hear. I could so easily be a fake psychic but I would never do anything like that.
Thank you to everyone who reads my blog!
