I can't hold my excitement anymore and would like to share my joy with you guys! I passed my driving test and obtained a driver's license. :) That's the best birthday gift I've ever gotten for myself. By end of the week, I'll be getting a motorcycle endorsement and hopefully will be getting my motorcycle by early January.
Happy holidays, VFS readers. Spread the joy of these holidays!!
As I was browsing through Craigslist looking for something I could do for extra cash, I stumbled upon an ad about foster care recruitment. That made me stop from clicking back to the main page. I just had to look into it and there I was at the website. From there, adoptflorida.org caught my eye. And then the faces I saw caught.. me. Still, I can't stop thinking about this whole idea which is probably crazy. Kids range from zero to seventeen years old. There are kids in my center who I am aware being in a foster care. I didn't understand at first. Well I haven't come across this before, knowing someone within my perimeters to be in a foster home. Sure there are a lot of people I know who were adopted but as an infant. But in teen years, however, never. I wonder what that is like. I wonder how strong both adopting parents and teen are to accept changes. I know that pregnant mothers giving up their child chooses the adopting parents. But teens? Who is adopting who? Ok. That'll be a hard match-making there. I imagine how it'll be like for me if I'd want to adopt this kid who has potentials academically and loves to dance like I do and if he/she doesn't like me back because of some personal preferences. Wow. I'd be so heartbroken but still wanting so much to be a part of his/her life and help. Sometimes I know how kids can be so arrogant sometimes and don't like to be helped. Some even got too independent.
Today was a heartfelt day for so many reasons. I don't know. It just struck me that bad because I just got to know one of my kids was born without head bone(LIKE WTF???! I was going to pass out learning about that) but now she's fine. Just down with a few disorders and now in a foster home. Also another, her granny will be adopting her. In addition to that, a foster parent whom I frequently chat with when she picks up her foster kid, sort of inspires me. So far, I know she had taken care of two kids, one after another.
I know I'll be with open arms if any kids need my love, shelter and care. Just one fine day. In the other hand, I'd have to give up some things to gain an addition to my family.
This was my very first holiday brunch ever. Frankly, I was like a little child touching and in awe looking at all the sweet collections and decorations at Miss Jane's house which was, by the way, an hour away from work or my place. We all had the same question for Miss Jane regarding her daily travel to work. It seems that it is no trouble for most people to drive that far to work. And the best thing about her place is it's by the lake. Ouh the serenity. I had an interesting weekend. I hope you guys did too!
