I always like "meeting" others in/on the adventure called foster care...or foster-to-adoption....or adoption. I am always even more interested when I find another singleton that has decided (for wahtever reason) to jump on this journey.I like to read about your joys, struggles, concerns, celebrations, and everyday life. I love to see how my kiddos and your say and do the silliest things. Yes, it helps me not go crazy.
So today, as I help kiddos with homework and reading, I thought I would look for some single foster parents blogs......
.....looking.......
......searching........
.................search another phrase...........
.................and................search another phrase...........
.................and search ........yet.............another phrase...........
REALLY???
I am really disappointed. I found a few and it seems that they were all abandoned after 3 or 4...maybe 6 entries. SAD. I wonder why that is.
Anyone have any ideas? Is is the discouragement of noone reading? Is it the business of being a single parent?? (Believe me I understand that! I was a single mom of one before this adventure....and now I have added three!) We need each other. For support, encouragement, fellowship, ideas, a listening ear, a sounding board, laughter, and ....so much more.
Found your blog through Foster Adoption Blog. I'm a single parent foster-adopt parent. I thought about blogging. Honestly after a full days work and dealing with my daughter's stuff as well as giving her the attention she needs I'm tired! I also have some concern about her birth parent somehow finding a blog on the internet of us! So I guess it's a mix of time and privacy. I've tried to connect to others in my area and have had luck finding one other mother who is a single adoptive parent!
ReplyDeleteJessica, thanks for stopping by! I can understand the privacy issue....that's why no names here. And yes, there are many days when I am just WAY. TOO. tired. Keep it up....good luck and God Bless!
ReplyDeleteI'm a single foster mom to be! :)

DeleteHi! I'm a single mom-to-be through adoption. I was certified in Nov. 2013 so I've just recently begun blogging about it - I blog about other things as well. :) I'm over here at http://silvertrumpets.blogspot.com/ and have a "single parent adoption" that pulls up my posts.
