When I made the choice to add to my family at an over 40 status I had some concerns: Would people think I was my children's Grandma? ( I am a grandma so that doesn't bother me so much). Would I be able to keep up to a couple of active toddlers? ( My husband is a few years younger so I figured he could keep up to them while I shout out orders.) Will my children be embarrassed by me? ( I think all children are embarrassed by their parents at some point.)
So I moved forward and today I came across a new problem. My memory is not as sharp as it was a couple of years ago and I am worried I won't remember all the cute things my children say! I am around them more than I have been in the past.......Every waking hour of every day..... Not complaining at all, just stating the facts. They keep saying the funniest things and it just cracks me up and then Steve comes home and I am all ready to tell him and I have forgotten what they said. Should I be worried? My long term memory is great so maybe in a few years I will remember! I guess I will just have to write it down, hopefully my eyesight holds up for a few more years.
P.S. Still no Layla news and that is something I won't forget when it finally happens!

Hi Jolene,
I'm adopting with CCI right now, and I have been thinking a lot about your case. I was with my friend yesterday who brought her daughter home almost a year ago now, and she was talking about the people whose cases touched her as they were adopting. Your situation has touched mine. I am SO SORRY you have had to wait this long. Please, if it's any consolation at all, take comfort in prayer. I will pray for you EVERY DAY until you get that OUT and can bring Layla home. BE BLESSED THIS DAY! AS you said in your earlier post, Surely, this is the day for you!

Jolene~ I think you're looking for something to worry about. I am a YOUNG Mama and I can't remember important dates. (When my HS was, when I filed documents, etc) ... LOL!
Just consider it adoption-drama overload & your poor brain can't handle it LOL!
