I got a phone call from Vicki the placement social worker. She has a baby girl that's 3 weeks old. She is still in the hospital detoxing (was born positive to a couple drugs). She asked if I was interested in taking her. How can I say no to a baby? But can I handle 2. And a baby is a lot more work. I've never had a baby. My Princess was almost 2 when I got her.
I haven't made a decision yet. I have to get back to her. I just had to tell someone.
Wow! Right out of the blue! I bet you weren't expecting that kind of phone call today. That's a pretty big decision. My advice would be to follow your instincts, whatever they may be. The little voice inside us usually knows what's best. :)
ReplyDeleteLorraine - My biggest fear is screwing up two childrens lives instead of just one. Of being a horrible mother. I told her yes. How do you say no to a child that just wants a good home, to be loved. She comes home from the hospital on Monday. I guess my diaper buying days aren't behind me like I thought. And I need a car seat. Clothing. I need someone to throw me a shower fast!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's amazing. Our world is lucky to have people like you!

What a blessing for all of you. You and your girls will be I'm my prayers. Don't worry about screwing up as parents we all do a little screwing up. As long as your children know they are loved they are a step ahead of many. Blessings to your family.
ReplyDeleteOh and I still have a few 0-3 month girl clothes that I would be happy to send to you. Just shoot me your adress. My email is under the contact info on my blog. I bet your friends and family will be joining forces to get you all you need. How exciting!
ReplyDeleteI second what Margaret said! An angel among us!
ReplyDeleteWow, good for you for taking her in! I will pray that God will give you wisdom, patience and peace! Best of luck to you! :)
ReplyDeleteWow that is amazing, what a life changing phone call! Wishing you all the best with your new adventure and I am sure that you will give her a 100% better life than what she may have had if you hadn't said yes. Think of it that way :) Good Luck!!!
