"I'll go on loving you"
We had a nice weekend with H's family (the bfam). I read a great thing the other day when it comes to speaking about them...this said that "a child's birthfamily is a part of who he or she is and it is their story to tell." That is going to be the bottom line for us - if anyone has a chance to meet them (at the baptism or whatever), then they are free to make their own opinion. Other than that, we're going to keep the details of Thunder's bfam for him to share when he is older - as his own story. It suffices to say that we like them and that all went well.
It was still awkward, but that's to be expected in "real life" events, right?
Brad Paisley was amazing, as was expected. His are the best concerts I have ever seen, mostly because RKZ and I know all of the songs. BP is just so entertaining and talented. They are a good-time kind of concert. The only draw back was that we had to leave Grandma Joad home with two over-stimulated boys. Thunder cried until 9 pm and Buck wouldn't sleep until 11 pm. I worried about Mom during most of the concert. She keeps telling me, "I raised 5 of you, you know."
But she wasn't in her 60's at the time.
I'm happy to get back on schedule and to look at a fairly tame calendar for the next few months. We're hoping for a May baptism if all goes well. It's a bit farther than we'd like, but there are a lot of factors going into it - the largest being that Churches don't baptize until adoptions are totally finalized. We have a our class with the Deacon tonight, so we've got to ask him all of these questions - and then the organizing begins.
