Where do I fit in?
A question I have been pondering for awhile: where do I fit in? I am a Mom, but yet, my kids are not on this earth. I am not raising them right now. And when my friends and family are discussing when they started their kids on solid foods, or how soon their kids started rolling-over/laughing/crawling/walking, the only input I can put in is what I have seen, not what I have experienced. And yet, I have carried two children, for the amazing amount of 18 months, in less than two years. But here I am again: where do I fit in? I don't really fit in with women who are trying to conceive, because a strong majority have never even been able to conceive one child, let alone two. And most of the women who are the proud Moms of adoption are not really in my shoes, because our reason for adoption is such a different story. Our first case worker even told us that she did not have any parents that were adopting for our reasons. So again, I do not feel like I fit in. I'm not trying to sound mopey, because truly, I am pretty happy right now (even being sick with the flu!)I truly do have such faith, that I WILL have more kids on this earth. And I believe that a loving Heavenly Father knows me better than I know myself. I just wish that our empty home could enjoy the blessings of having laughter and joy in our home, the kind that is only brought in by a sweet baby being with us, on a day-to-day basis. I want to be a Mom, so bad. And Mike wants to be a Dad soo much too. What's a gal to do? So really, I guess it will be awhile before I truly fit in, and I will just have to make do with being somewhere in-between!
