Possible Adoption

Been a few days since I have set down to organize my thoughts into writing, so I guess I may need to do that today.

I had company over the weekend. A friend that I have known since...well....birth I guess since I can not ever remember a time of not having been around her. I remember her being at my 4th birthday party and I am sure we were around each other before then. Our grandmothers were close friends and neighbors. She moved out of state several years ago, and we lost touch for 20 years, but last year, through facebook, we found each other again and have been able to visit each other several times now. For that, I am grateful.

My husband and I are hoping to adopt a little girl that currently lives about 5 hours away from us. We should hear something today whether or not her Mother has chosen us to be her new family. If so, we will begin the process of the criminal back ground checks and the home studies and all of the other legal aspects of adoption. The child is almost 9 years old and I think will be a good fit into our home and life style. We would welcome another child into our lives and into our home school. My son is super excited at the idea of being a big brother and having some one in classes with him. My husband is excited at the idea of having a child of our own (both of my children are mine from previous marriage). My daughter is a bit iffy on the idea of having another sibling, but she is grown, married, and has a child of her own and out of our home. I am excited, but worried if I will be able to teach two young children at once. I know many Moms do this everyday, but I am ADHD, my son is also, and this little girl is also ADHD. Can we do this? That is my only concern. I do not want to send her into a public school setting because her mother is telling me that she does not do well at all in public schools. The same is true of my son. I do not want to send him into a public school as he does not do well either. I can only hope that all will be well and trust in Creator to guide me and give me strength, wisdom, and above all, patience!
