How She Sees the World

Thoughts and insight on the life of She. I'm married to the lady that makes me love myself more. We are a year and 3 boys into our journey to find our forever family through foster care.

Last night was tough for this little princess, but as soon as the boys woke up, or was a different story.

Please help I don’t know what to wear to my interview/meeting on Tuesday

[shegetsitdone]

Wear something that you feel strong and confident in. Feeling your best self is more memorable than actual clothing.

Respite

My wife and I are divorcing. I am closing on a house next week. We are headed back from hours a way to take in a 2 year old that would otherwise have to sleep in the CPS office.

The same people who complained about how lazy the youth are now are really upset by how motivated they are

Adoption day Part 2

Today we add the twins’ brothers to the family. I now have 3 additional nephews and could not be more proud to call them my own.

[shegetsitdone]

Licensing comes tomorrow. The house is a mess. 3 kids/years in and all my fucks are gone.

We had a very merry Christmas with OUR boys. I am not sure if the joy in my heart will fade as the adoption day gets further away- but it is here for now!

[shegetsitdone]

It’s been just over a week since our adoption was finalized with these crazy boys. I still don’t feel like I am coming down from cloud nine. Permanency feels good!

[shegetsitdone]

I’ve been MIA- but this happened today

[shegetsitdone]

My FIL is the worst. Literally I have a list of things, including his shirt that said United States Armed- with guns instead of flag poles…on 9/11. But, the kids had a daycare open house for grandparents and my boys adore him.

We had a weekend of adventures and exploring

[shegetsitdone]

We got our family pics taken last night- I can't wait to see how they turned out. The photographer was amazing!
