no voice
Ever tried to answer a phone with no voice?I've lost my voice, and I do tech support over the phone. I can't go home for another hour. I just sit here hoping no one will call.
My Holly called and was happier and calmer. The twins are being cute. Our daughter points at dogs and calls them 'dog' consistently.
The twins are our joy and our sorrow at the same time. Our older kids are ours, and will be forever, but the twins can be taken away still. If we don't live up to the social worker's demands, or if a member of their birth family pops up and wants them - they might have to go. It won't happen, we tell ourselves. The social workers like us and help us and the family was given a chance and nobody wanted the babies. The ball is rolling - it's gonna happen, unless it doesn't. They can't take them away - we are totally bonded with them, and they with us - unless they do take them away.
The law is on our side, for now. The legislators don't like us, much, here in Texas. Babies should have a mother and a father, not two mothers!! Even preemie African American drug babies like ours?? We were good enough when they were born and tiny and their futures were unknown/unsure... but now they are a year and strong and perfect. Are we still good enough? We are, and the social workers and case workers and therapists and judges know it. But do the legislators? The governor?
We want to fight, to be activists, but don't dare call attention to ourselves until the adoption is final. We have to leave that to our friends.
