We were interviewed this morning for articles to be published in local newspapers in regards to being nominated as foster parents of the year. The person asked John if our house was complete and he said the only thing we need now is a girl because he's sure I'm feeling pretty out-numbered. I'll admit, I have been buying an awful lot of dresses and skirts the past year, maybe as a reaffirmation of my own femininity, but I'm not quite sure what I would do with a girl, something many of you know I always said I wanted.
We actually were asked this week by a former coworker to take a little girl, the mom of which I went to high school with, who will be spending the next year in jail. It would've been drama attached, I'm sure, and I would've sucked it up, because there's no way I could say "no" to a child. But, I have to say, when my former coworker told me she was going to try to keep the little girl herself, there was relief. I don't have to worry about moving anyone around so she'd have her own room or buying girl specific clothes and toys.
Yes, in the future, I would really love a little girl, of my own or even just to "borrow." But for right now, I think our family is right where it is supposed to be. We can figure out the rest when the need presents itself.
