You always have a way of making me feel so much better; which I greatly appreciate! :) I'm grateful for people like you in my life who can build me back up when I'm beginning to doubt myself - thank you!*Mandie*https://www.blogger.com/profile/15070273168959077565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736876520313398869.post-75228747561491671432010-10-08T23:28:43.095-05:002010-10-08T23:28:43.095-05:00Mandie, I love your raw honesty and your heart. Y...Mandie, I love your raw honesty and your heart. You may feel nervous, but note what you are nervous about...you didn't state that you're nervous about losing free time, finances, youth, etc. (all of the things that we as humans can selfishly cling to). Instead you are nervous about being a good mom, getting accepted as an adoptive parent, wanting your loved ones to love your future adopted child in a way that you already do. These things alone make you a fantastic mom-to-be! Is there anxiety? I think most would be lying if they said no. But anxiety isn't necessarily bad...it shows we care and drives us to be better. So excited for you!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033199616386612333noreply@blogger.com
