Babbies

So the article I posted on yesterday really got me. I was blessed to adopt a relatively healthy 3 month old baby. The article challenged me to think about our next children. My husband and I have already talked about the possibility of adopting another child, and we talked about the possibility of adopting a baby who had special needs. During that conversation we both came to the conclusion that it would really depend upon the needs of that child, whether we felt it would be right for us. For me the most important thing is adopting a child while they are young. In some ways after reading that article that need seems so selfish, but I don't think I could deal emotionally with a child who has an attachment disorder. So I get why parents want to adopt a baby.

But then my heart cries out again just thinking about that 7 year old girl with pigtails who just wants someone to give her a hug and dry her tears. And that teenage boy who just wants a man to look up to, someone to teach him how to drive.

So, I'm conflicted.

And then I could write a whole blog about how I want to adopt a baby from a former communist country where Roma children are seen as less then human because they are from a race that is looked down on in their culture.

Ok, I'm done my ranting. I just needed toget it out there
