TRYING TO GET USED TO ADOPTION
One of the down sides to this whole thing is watching children leave. There are a few that I have grown really attached to and would have loved to adopted but two of their parents are here right now and the other will be here next week. That one will be the hardest for Donowit has stolen my heart. She is two years old and reminds me a lot of myself as a child. Her parents are coming on the 23rd and will be here for about a week before she heads to Malta. I got to meet her birth mom yesterday (I was originally told she had passed away) She is 23 and also has a four year old daughter who is living with Grandma. The mom is HIV positive and can no longer take care of the girls. It was sad because Donowit did not want to go to her mom and kept coming to me. I left the room but in a few minutes she had found me and wanted to be with me. Once her mom left I tried to get her to eat lunch but all she wanted was to cuddle. She fell asleep in my arms and when she woke up she came to the baby room to sit in my lap again. I do not know what I will do when her adoptive parents get here. I would give up everything I have to be her mom. I know in the future there will be other children but for now she is the one. Please pray for me this week and that the parents are willing to exchange information so I can keep in touch with her in the future.
