Adoption

A few months ago I found myself thinking and considering adoption. I did think that I might do that years back before I got marries and then when I did I decided to wait and see how I feel about my own children and about adoption once I had my own. Well since then I decided I can't adopt. I was overwhelmed with how I felt about my children. The love, the need to protect and nurture them and how with all the trouble and the hard work that comes with them, there is nothing that I enjoy more than my children. But now recently I can't stop thinking about adoption.

First I found myself having those nurturing feeling to other babies and the sight of a new born just moves like I am the mother. So this got me thinking: maybe now I can do it. Off course the idea of providing an unfortunate orphan a decent living and some parental love preaches itself. But I needed to be be sure I can do it.

Now, I think I am. I just want to figure out how and when. I have three lovely girls of my own and I want to make sure I do it in a way that makes this a good addition to our family.

Random thought

How do I know that me thinking about having a fourth child now is not a mid-life crisis???

I miss having and holding little new borns, but still...
