I adopted without pleading for money. No church bake sales or neighborhood yard sales (I see that a lot). Even when I lost my job two months before I was to get her, I didn’t ask for help. Especially not from STRANGERS. I’ve always hated seeing these sob stories.
So, if they’re really, reeeeeeaaaaally worthy, they should be able to find the money under their bed. The Lord provides, but should make them work for it…
Sanity? Yeah, we were neighbors once. Way too nosy and uptight. I last saw him running down the street the day I decided to horrify my family with my decision! LOL Now it’s all good, she’s spoiled by everyone, esp her ornery ol’ grampa.
Minutes ago, the kid revealed her master plan to drive me nuts. I keep telling her it’s too late!
I was always told that God helps those who help themselves…yeah. Exactly.

We also adopted…we saved money and did it ourselves. Without begging.

Awesome you too! Wish I could adopt more, esp when she keeps bugging me for a little sister. But that would mean *gasp* asking for help!
We have thought about it too. The wait times are so long now.
Don’t do it! Your sanity is too valuable!
Sanity? Who’s he?

You see…when there are two…they conspire…and are much more effective.
LOL on the one hand I can see that, on the other hand, conspiracy time would cut into sibling spat time…that I would have to break up…
One kid it is!
