Life is busy

Yesterday was my birthday and I really didn't have any time to celebrate it. How sad is that. Not that I really care about celebrating my birthday. I wouldn't let Mike take me out to dinner last night because I had too many things to do. He did take me out to lunch, though. We can always celebrate another day and we will, but I just never thought I would be too busy to celebrate my own birthday. It is okay though, if I wasn't busy I would probably just be lazy.

The adoption efforts continue. We know our profile has been shown at least a few times. I am actively trying to find potential birthmothers on a regular basis and have emailed a few that I have found on message boards and what not. Nothing has come from that yet. I keep hearing how there are so many unwanted pregnancies in Mississippi, I don't know if that is true but that is what I hear. I need to start trying to figure out how to reach potential birthmothers here.

We were recently told by our SW that we have to attend adoption training, something he failed to mention to us previously. They don't have them very often and we missed the recent one they had in Atlanta. They are planning one in Jan. in Birmingham, so hopefully we should be able to attend that one. The hardest part about adopting right now is just the not knowing when. I have no doubt that we will be matched with a birthmother and will have a baby soon, but it could happen tomorrow or it could happen a year from now, it is just so crazy to think about.
