On Saturday God’s Children Adoption Agency (our agency GCAA) had an adoption gathering. It was so fun! This was our second year attending it. It is so nice to see the Bismarck adoption community grow SO MUCH! There were lots of families there. Some who have adopted, are in the process, or want to adopt. It was so nice to catch up with the families we know and meeting new families. We even got to meet a family in the same boat as us: no kids, adoption is their first choice, and close to our age! It was so nice to chat with them and share our stories. Most families are or have adopted from Ethiopia, but there were a few domestic families there as well. It was fun to think that’s probably the last GCAA gathering we will attend without being parents! It’s fun to go, but also bittersweet when you see all those little adopted children running around…they are so so cute!! Makes us feel a little jealous and out of place, but it was so fun! We have been getting so much support from families in Bismarck who have adopted…always fun to see them and keep in touch!
Sunday was Mother’s Day…again bittersweet…hopefully my last one without being a mom :) I took my mom out to eat at Johnny Carinos on Friday after work and Sunday we cooked breakfast for her, gave her flowers, candy, and a card…and then cooked supper for her as well. She does so much for us throughout the year. She really is the most giving, selfless person I know. It was nice to spoil her for a day and give her a break from all the cooking she does!
All in all, it was a great weekend. We continue to wait to be matched. We are finding it even harder to be patient after that adoption gathering, but we are holding on and praying we’re matched soon!!!
Have a great week…
Tasha
