Debbie's Blog Babble

If someone ever blocks, or I should say blocked, me on FB, I assume you don't want to talk to me so don't be mad if I don't respond to you.  Just saying.

To anyone listening, Ok.. I am not writing this to put anyone down or because I have been dwelling on it.  Honestly I am writing it because I need to get some feelings written out about the whole subject and my feelings right now and how to properly handle everything. Plus people have been asking me questions about where she is and everything so... Recently.. well a few months ago, my best friend and I stopped talking.  Now, as most of you know, we were extremely close for many years.  Unfortunately, most people aren't willing to talk to me about things before it gets really bad and certain things could have been avoided.  I think it is  hurtful if someone leaves your life easily who said they did think of you so closely but push you so far away. I want to stress this.. I wish her NOTHING but happiness and joy in her future for her and her husband.  I will never stop praying for her and her family.  For me, there is no resentment towards her....

To anyone listening, Well, after all the stops and starts (everyone sing the song.. after all the stops and starts we keep coming back to these 2 hearts..), we have decided to foster to adopt.  Besides it being much more affordable, I found out that you can pick the age range you want to foster.  That REALLY changed things for me.  I didn't want to foster because of my past with foster homes, etc etc.  Long story.  Aren't all of my stories long? Lol.  BUT that changed everything!!! I wanted to name our future daughter Hope.  There are a lot of reasons why. Here is what I realized about hope. Once the talk of fostering came up, I started looking for old furniture as DIY projects and some clothes from Goodwill to prepare for it all.  We have to have a crib and stuff for the home study because of the age we want to foster.  Which btw we can change the age range at any time which is cool.  We might down the road.  It takes about 3-1...
