I'm almost done with the paperwork for the homestudy - just one last thing to get in the mail. It's amazing to me how many people have claimed to have mailed various things, only to find them buried somewhere weeks later. I dunno if it's a sign or what.
Lately, I've been going through a lot of questioning about this decision. Can I actually do this? Will I have enough money? Can I even afford the adoption costs... let alone the costs of raising a child? I am a huge money worried. When I was a child, money was a big issue - mostly because of mismanagement. Now, I worry about it constantly. How do I save money and buy tires? What about the expensive 40,000 mile check on the car?... what about tuition?
The truth is that I can do it, I just need to relax about it and take everything one step at a time. I won't be really rich, but that's just stuff.

3 Talk To Me!:
I just found you from a new link... I know how you feel about the whole money thing... I am constintently second guessing myself as to whether or not I can actually do this... than I think of all the other people I know who do it on less income and I wonder... how? I've always lived comfortable in my means... but I guess (hope) things will just adjust to my "little one".
Are you almost done with your paperwork? I just have the I600A to get now. I added you to my links if you don't mind.

Consistently..... I really am a teacher!!! LOL, I need spell check before I post!
You will be rich in ways you never dreamed. (I tell myself this everytime I get a credit card bill reflecting my new, astronomical agency fee)!! It is scary... but like you, I know I can do it, and that others on less have done it before me...
Don't give up your dream..
