At 5:30pm our social worker came to collect all our adoption paperwork to complete our home study so we can potentially adopt in the future. She asked Thomas and I questions separately and together. She pointed out that I had a strong personality and Thomas was laid back. She asked us how we would handle conflicts with parenting when the child came. I told her I have little experience with caring for children and Thomas has a lot of experience from caring for his younger brother. Thomas knowledge about children would be a great asset and he would help me learn valuable parenting skills. I get a little nervous thinking about motherhood. I pray that I am a great mother and our marriage stays as strong as it is now when a little one enters the picture. All I hear from other parents is how things change when kids come. I love my marriage and pray that a child will make it even better.
Well enough rambling, I better go to bed because I have to be at the hospital @ 6:30am to prepare for my life changing weight loss surgery. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am committed to the change and pray that there are no complications or adverse side effects. My heavenly Father knows what’s best for me and be with me all the way. I have been in constant prayer about this decision for several months. I am at peace and feel the outcome will be great! I will keep you posted.
