My husband and I are going through domestic infant adoption right now. It's really hard. We are unable to get pregnant I guess and this is where it led us. I enjoy reading about your girls and the struggles but you have been truely blessed and have given them a life that they would have never had!

Keep on keepin' on! That's ...You GO girl! Keep on keepin' on! That's my motto, too. I, like you, am wayyy too stubborn to give up...and, that's a very good thing. You're NOT alone in the way you feel. For me, I guess I'm just too busy to stop and notice, for the most part. I try to be optimistic, as well, so I can't dwell on the negative. At times, though, it does catch up with me. Love those girls and their curls! Too cute. :)The LaBelle Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205410532766198529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096797447075940887.post-23626358650507010752009-12-25T08:39:47.579-06:002009-12-25T08:39:47.579-06:00Ahh...

Maybe because just underneath the surface is a lot of crap that will come out of I attach words to it and I feel some days like I'm surprised I did even a small amount of what I was supposed to and if I add my own emotions to it? Well, that's just scary now, isn't it???<br /><br />The past few days, mullling, again, over what it means to me a mom, I've begun to think that 'losing' some of myself is ok. Not just ok, but necessary. On an every day run of the mill day, my kids need so much. (at least it feels that way) <br /><br />Yes I am maintaining some of my former self, but mostly I am haphazardly building my new self, and a huge chunk of that is me as a mom. I'm trying to reframe it from a struggle to an ongoing work of art:) <br /><br />And when I hit 80, I won't look anything like a work of art, if my current wrinkles are any indication, but I'm hoping I'll feel unique and priceless on the inside. Hoping. If my kids don't take me down first.rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814599978295161064noreply@blogger.com
