It maybe sounds small and insignificant, but for me, in my mind, this is HUGE!
I went to the used bookstore on my lunch break one day last week to see if they even had a section of books about adoption. They did, although it was really small and wedged in with ten copies of What to Expect When You're Expecting (*vomit*). Being a used bookstore, they are slaves to the whims of people who sell them their old books, so I don't fault them for the narrowness of their selection. I hadn't heard of/wasn't interested in most of the titles -BUT- and I take this as a small gesture from God- they had a copy of Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew. The book I am currently riveted to and goes with me everywhere.
And I bought it.
I bought. A book. About adoption.
I know - it's like I might actually be starting to think that we may possibly, actually, do this. And not in some vague unknown future time. But soon. Ish.
That is a big step for me.
Hi! I just found your blog and am excited to browse around and get to know you a little better. I currently have two books about adoption sitting on my bookshelf. It is something my husband and I have always talked about doing, but the process is so overwhelming! I look forward to reading more of your journey.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bear! And welcome :-) I hope my overly introspective journey to adoption can help demystify the process for you.
