With every adoption, we had a website or a blog. It was always my intention to continue
the blog post-adoption, but there are challenges. My family is always my top priority. I would never want to share something
that may, at a later date, embarrass or otherwise negatively impact someone in
my family. So the days following
an adoption are difficult to blog.
Emotions are thin and tension is high. I don’t always think clearly and when my filter doesn’t work
in normal circumstances, I hesitate to risk it when I know I’m not on my A
game. So I don’t write.
Now that we are over a year past our most recent adoption,
everyone is pretty comfortable.
We’ve all figured out our roles within the new family dynamic. Life has regained a sense of normalcy. I no longer feel that I may say
something that I later regret. Of
course, that doesn’t guarantee that I won’t overstep, but the risk is greatly
diminished.
I won’t be posting exciting adoption news. Sorry. We’ve decided we’re done with that part of our
adventure. We love to be a part of
other’s adoption journeys, but we will not be adding any future children to our
family. Four is sufficiently busy
for us.
I will be writing about life. Mine, theirs, random people I see while I am out running
errands. Just kidding, I won’t write about
strangers. I don’t think. My goal is to write in the morning
because that is really the only time I get to have complete thoughts, before
the people wake up.
So check back, read and comment. If you have questions about anything I might know something
about, ask away. I’m fluent in
international adoption, homeschooling, French, housework, cooking, and
running. I’m not so fluent in
being a great wife and mom, but I’m working on it. Every day is a new adventure.
Thanks for reading!
Amy
