Well, I got up the nerve and told my parents today that we were adding to our family and they would be the grandparents to a little boy from Uganda....
Those amazing parents of mine who, I'm sure worry over us, our finances, time with our kids, etc. gave their support and love to us. I felt immense relief. They may have gotten off the phone and FREAKED out. But they gave to me a gift of love and support when they could tell I was passionate about something and nervous to tell them.
My mom and dad are my best friends is this is one of the reasons why. They have always supported me because they know I do NOT do things half cocked. I am a careful planner and researcher. I am an 'against all odds girl'. I bought my first house in 1993 by myself, just about fresh out of college in when my friends were renting and 'adults' were laughing at me that I thought I could afford to buy when I just graduated college and didn't have much money saved. I didn't take no for an answer then and I learned a lot from that experience.
We have three sets of parents in our family so one down, two to go....
