I've been a bad bloggy friend lately too - not much in updates, and I've still got 123 (yes - 123) blog entries in my Google Reader that I've yet to catch up on! <br/><br/>Sorry to hear you're in a bit of a funk - but I'm praying that you and your husband can come to an agreement about the adoption thing!

We just sent in our adoption application to adopt a little girl from China. We had no idea how hard it would be to make decisions about where to adopt from, what age, what agency, etc. I'm praying for you ... please feel free to ask any questions. You knwow where to find me!<br/><br/>Sherry Hey! We just sent in our adoption application to adopt a little girl from China.

You are a lot like me, though. Most of the time I don't think I have much of anything all that interesting to say...(it's not true!) LOL<br/><br/>I have friends who adopted and I know there's many paths to take. They ended up with a baby girl from China. She's beautiful! It was a long road for them, too. <br/><br/>Being the mom of four teenagers, I can tell you that parenting and your ideas about it constantly evolve with time, events and with each child. My kids have all been raised in the same house with the same parents and are very close in age. You'd think they'd be somewhat similar, but no. <br/><br/>Other than the fact that they are all good kids and good people (they do have their moments), they all have VERY different personalities. What works with one kid doesn't work at all with another. I may (or may not) change my opinion based on how strongly they feel about something. It usually works..<br/><br/>When I was little, my mom was adamant, that we would all go to Catholic school. I wanted to go to public school. By 2nd grade, she said "one year" and let me go to public school. I stayed in public school through high school, while my siblings all went to Catholic schools. I was very happy and thrived there and it was the right decision for me. <br/><br/>You'll see...when the time comes...you will do the right things. I have no doubt about that at all!!<br/><br/>Jessica You always have a lot to talk about. You are a lot like me, though.

A few weeks ago I cut about 12" off my hair and donated it to Locks of Love. Having short hair is so freeing! Yay for short hair!

I can just imagine that all the decisions that need to be made on adoption are extremely difficult.

And as for parenting methods, I think almost everyone has their ideas about how children should be raised. Many of those get thrown out over time. However, it is important to mostly agree on what you’re actually going to do.

Much prayer for you on both points. There is time.
