  1. This makes a lot of sense to me... whether one is adopting from China or Texas or Ethiopia or Haiti or wherever: don't take a child from a culture or environment without some investment in maintaining a connection and/or returning there.

    ADOPT A CHINESE BABY, MOVE TO CHINA.

    Makes perfect sense, right? I think that's why so many of us out-of-towners want our kids to have Texas pride. That's why we invest in the Longhorns gear, Don't Mess with Texas t-shirts, etc. And it's why we plan our annual trek there! I know it's to a much lesser degree, but it's still parallel. As good adoptive parents, you should want your child to be proud of where they came from - their heritage, their roots, their culture. Kinda hard to do that when the child hasn't experienced their place of birth first-hand!

    I would definitely agree there. I think I should send my kids some UT gear lol Hook 'em Horns!

  2. If "IT" happens again, I think I would use abrazo again.

    I am planning to stop using the Depo Provera,

    I feel that it may be causiing me to gain weight,

    because I have in fact gained the weight back that I had lost.

    If I eliminate the Depo and the weight just happens to fall off

    then I was right.

    I don't have the time or money to eat right and excercise.

    Well I mean the time thing doesnt really apply,

    but resources I do not have any.

    Ok well that's a lie too,

    but the gym here doesn't have the machines that I want to use.

    I also don't like thinking that people are watching me and my fat bouncing around.

    Well anyway,

    I don't plan on having sex for a few months at least,

    but considering how vulnerable I am right now,

    if the opportunity just happened to present itself,

    I probably would.

    depending on the situation....

    I would place my baby for adoption

    because they are expensive and I am greedy.

    And seeing the messed up kids (teenagers) around here

    at Job Corps with they're disciplinary issues, their immaturity

    and their ADHD, just to name one disorder off the top of my head.

    Yeah i know I am smart and could probably raise a child in the right direction,

    but I don't want any more kids.

    I see other peoples kids.

    I don't want them.

    My sister pawns her kids off on me,

    I don't want all of that...

    learning disorders and speach delays.

    I had the perfect set.

    one son and one daughter.

    I don't want or need more.

    The doctor here says that only one more would be safe at this point...

    since I've had the double c section.

    So yeah if I have any more.

    Its back to abrazo most definitely.

    I really feel like worrying about myself.

    I have a lot of work to do on myself.
