Did anyone else see the article in People or elsewhere about how Jessa (Duggar) Seewald would love for her next baby to be adopted but the adoption agencies they've contacted do not allow parents to adopt when they have an infant?
Adopting kids is great, but you've been parents for all of 5 seconds and you are already calling up adoption agencies? Or were you calling up adoption agencies when you were still pregnant? I just don't get it.
I read an article a while back that they want to adopt but they were told they has to be married for 2 years before being allowed to start the process. This was either before they announced they were pregnant or right afterwards.
I could be wrong but I think they look into your family history , and with all of the issues her family gas been involved with I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a very long timr for them to adopt. But like I said, I coukd be wrong on that part.

I've been in contact with an adoption agency because it can take years to actually get a baby. It's not just as easy as saying I want a baby and getting one. The one I am going through you have to volunteer for, for 5 years before being eligible for adoption(granted I've been volunteering for them since birth but while I was pregnant said I was interested in adopting).
Ok that makes more sense. Please excuse my ignorant comment

I'm feeling fairly irritated with the world today. My husband took the last 2 muffins with him this morning as part of his "lunch." You have a whole fridge of food to choose from, but you chose the kids' breakfast muffins. Nice move. I've been cleaning my house in prep for a mtg. Was all ready for guests, but after 30 or so minutes of waiting, I ask a friend if they're coming. Nope, they met 3 hrs earlier somewhere else without texting or calling.
So naturally, I'm handling this like an adult and eating my feelings while my kids watch movies and build forts in the once-clean living room.
Well no baby and me today... Cole decided he wanted to nap instead. Normally his naps are pretty crappy (this one is going on 2 hours!) We'll just go and get new books instead.
We no longer have a bookstore even remotely close to us. Probably a good thing for my budget though! I love getting new books!
Sorry for crappy days, wegrowsheep and @jemomma. I'm jealous of the wine. Wine gets me white girl wasted so fast. My day was great. Except O is sick and has a real fever. Poor little man. Now I'm all kinds of mommy worried to let him sleep because I won't be in the room with him? I guess I'll check his temp again before I go to bed. I gave him tylenol and a cool bath.
I have been breathing through my mouth since Tuesday, it's sexy. My husband has been complaining since Tuesday that he thinks he may be getting a cold. Dude - you get to mope around once you get the cold. You don't get to claim the days leading up to the actual cold. Pssh.
I wonder if a glass of wine will help with the stuffy nose.

michyme123 I was going to ask about what people were doing re: boiling water for formula in SQS because I just transitioned to FF a few weeks ago and SO insists all water must be boiled. My family had never heard of this and apparently all of my nieces and nephews had regular filtered tap water. So far we've been boiling daily or every other day and storing it in a cooler or in the pot with a lid and my paranoid anxious ass had been googling the shit out of proper protocol (don't do this if you don't want to boil and cool water for EACH INDIVIDUAL BOTTLE...) meanwhile his ass is just like "boil the water......"
Wine is gone. There is no secret SO beer to be found. There is however, secret SO rum...
but also, for the first time in SWEET BABY JESUS knows how long, my child is sleeping.
so I should probably go to bed, no? or have a rum and coconut?
If you lo still wakes up motn I would skip The rum. Unless you have a high tolerance,then have at it girl. I just poured the last of my bottle of wine. Sad face.
This is solid advice. I used to have a ludicrous tolerance. I don't know who I am anymore
