About Me
- redmaryjanes
- I am an everyday woman. I am married to my soulmate. I have three sons ages 16,13 & 4. Adoption was never something that I had planned to do, but through an interesting path, God has led me and my husband to pursue the adoption of our daughter Sophia from China. It has changed me in so many ways. I cannot wait to look in the mirror and see the woman I will be when this journey is over.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 275 of 275The ignorance of some people ...
Good Morning again Amy!
I think I should update my blog post and ask where my personal apology is from Teleflora. :P
I want a non-mom waiting-mom mother's day bouquet...heh. Mmm sarcasm...
Summer vacation -- what's that??
I'm taking summer classes so I can graduate next May. To me, giving up my summer is worth it to move the graduation date up! Short term pain for long term gain ...
Honestly, I couldn't handle 3 1/2 months of doing nothing. ;)
Someone called my husband that a few weeks ago but I know what that really means!
I'm gone ... have a nice weekend everybody!! :)
The cruise was nice. VERY SUNNY and WARM! We had a good time. Gained a couple of pounds back :(
It was nice to see my friend Cheryl again, and she and Lisa hit it off.
I'm back, my SIL is on the phone, she's going to try to join the chat this morning. So, I'll have a sister on too like Karen.
I love that Rhonda,
Yeah, I'm thinking I won't be getting that apology and that's ok because then I'd feel the need to let it slide and I really don't want to.
K1 what cruise were you on? we just got back last Saturday from our Disney cruise
hello and good morning y'all.
Good Morning Trish!
Everyone...anonymous is my SIL. She has been amazing in supporting us and our adoption.
good morning anonymous
Hello Trish, SIL
Welcome!
I think that they've just 'swept it under the rug' and we're all just going to forget about it. They screwed up badly, and right before one of (what I can only hope is) the busiest order times of the year for them. I wonder if it actually hurt their 'bottom line'? I wonder if people cancelled orders because of this?
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in their boardroom...
Sorry, I'm late folks! Teleflora actually posted a comment on my blog! I appreciate the apology and think they did what they could at this point, but a hate that they have to qualify types of moms.
Random thought here and I wont post this again, did you see the contest that Michael is doing?
YOu enter someone else and they win.!!!!!
www.valtool.blogspot.com
Someone has already nominated Verna! Yippee!!!
i'm joining for first time today. i'm kim's sister-in-law.
I'm trying to help her navigate through all of the comments and refresh the page. She lives in Panama City Florida.
Special K,
Yup, that's what we've been discussing. I find the categories demeaning and demoralizing, personally. Adopting moms fall into each of those categories...why couldn't they just put us all into the same category as 'moms'?
I think the more that I talk about it, the angrier I'm getting. It's just not getting any better. *sigh*
Good Morning Special K. I went over and saw the apology.
We were on the HOLIDAY, a Carnival ship. Went from Mobile Alabama to Progreso and Cozumel Mexico and back to Mobile.
HI my friend karen!
I miss you special K!!!
Special K is a First Friday friend!
Happy Mom's Day to you all
I'll go over and check it out Amy :)
How are the boys this morning Trish?
K1, hope you had a good time..Our pics were posted this week!
Thank you R!
Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a while and I happened to get up early today, so HI!!
Good Morning Kayce!
Thank you so much for that darling bib.
I love the card too and I'm looking for a frame for it.
Amy, you need to link Michael's blog to one of yours, then I can get over to it easily.
Good morning kayce
Hi guys!
Kim, I'm so glad you liked the card and the bib too. I had so much fun making those bibs!!! I just fell in love with the fabrics.
Hi Amy! How are you today??
Ya'll Have a great weekend, gotta run. Am heading south for a GI party at the church.
Later
I love it, thank you again.
Are you still there Trish?
Have a great day R and drop in anytime!
I'm going to have to scoot soon. Happy Mother's Day to all you Awesome Moms and Waiting Moms and sisters and daughters (and one son!) of Moms and waiting Moms.
It's your hearts that makes you Mom's, not your wombs, and you have HUGE, GENEROUS hearts.
RMJ, just hung up with R. He was heading for the shower, so I'll say, "You're Welcome" for him.
Good morning ladies.
Have a great day Karen.
Good Morning Laura!
Any news on the baby shower?
Oh, Kimberley, before I go, could you please send me another CHAT link for my sidebar. I lost the original when I changed templates. Either the yellow or the blue is fine. Thanks
Done..I added both of our blogs but Michaels is www.valtool.blogspot.com
Hope it shows up on our blog
I'll get one right over to you in e-mail Karen.
Good question. I am hosting my sister's baby shower next weekend and then I can focus on Crystal's after that. I am think the first weekend in June. After memorial day.
Baby showers are sooo much fun
Yes baby showers are a ton of fun. I get to see a different side now since I am hosting one at my house. Love to see all the cute baby stuff.
Yes, I love buying baby things.
I ordered a dress for Savannah's shower gift from Robin.
Robin makes the most beautiful things. I am sure Savannah will look darling in it.
I will try and talk with Crystal this week and see what weekend in June works best for her.
Just let me know. I think it's going to be a lot fun.
Back...
Hey there Rhonda.
Anyone have any adoption news?
I know friends who are very close to travelling to Ethiopia!
Oh yes I will let you know for sure. I think it will be lots of fun to.
The only news I have is that if you are going Special Needs, you need to be pushing your agency to start reviewing the shared list. I am all over my agency about it right now.
I love to hear that families are going to Africa, but I'm hearing it's a tough go.
It's taking them a long time to get out with their children.
Ok, thanks! I would be sooo ready for SN, but wont push hubby.
Cant wait to get through the review room though!
I believe we are being reviewed this month. My SW told me she has never been questioned on any of her dossiers, so here's to praying we get through ok.
the boys are doin fine. they miss daddy and are anxious about moving, leaving old friends and making new ones.
but they are hanging in there.
Hey there Trish,
Girl, you figured it out!
You need a blog now.
I am so thrilled that you are here.
You are the best sister in law : )
I wish you a speedy review
i would love to go on a cruise. maybe for my b-day in 3 years i can. or maybe when my husband gets back. that would be awesome!
Thank you Amy. I tell you, it's on my mind all of the time now. I think I need a hobby!
My brother in law is in the Air Force and is in Korea for a year. So, Trish is home in FL with my two nephews.
i'll just stick with yours kim. i have no need to have my own. i have a my space and don't use it. we are mainly using yahoo im.
Well ladies I hope everyone has a great mother's day. I am off to organize my house and start our morning out here.
Kimberly I will be praying that your review goes smooth and quickly.
I've been through review for months, but I find the adoption is all that I think about...and yet we still have years to go.
Thank you Laura,
Have a great Mother's Day!
Yeah,
this wait and uncertainty can really get to you.
gald i finally made it to morning chat, but i need to go and run some errands. the fun never ends. i prayer for all of the MOMS here, bio and adoptive, it's still the hardest and yet most meaningful job out there! and as we say in laborand delivery, the real work starts after the baby is born! god bless you all.
Im o glad Trish joined us today.
You know what makes me sad is that I dont hear anyone "hoping for a speed up" anymore!
Well ladies, it is after noon here..so I'm going to take off and start my weekend.
Happy Mother's Day to you all!
By the way, there was an article in MacLean's (a Canadian magazine) about Chinese adoption which you might be interested in. It's the good, the bad and the ugly, but all in all, it's fairly well written and *gasp* balanced.

Oh man...I'm really late this morning. Is anyone still here?

It wasn't much but I thought you might like it..
Happy Mother's Day..
