Day Two

So I think i forgot to tell you.

I got a job! Hooray

I'm working at a Deli at a local grocery store. It was pretty good the first day, however I worked more hours than I was planning on and didn't eat before I went. I was starving.

I guess I'll continue on my adoption story.

The night my biological parents found out they were having a baby, my mother immediately wanted to tell her parents. Her and my father went to her parents house, it was in the middle of the night so they were sleeping. She woke her father up and said "Dad, I'm pregnant" and he did not respond with anger or disappointment, but with love and sincerity he replied, "Congratulations."

My grandparents and parents grew up in the catholic faith. In that faith most believe birth control is a form of abortion and sex before marriage is a sin. So it was a great surprise to find my grandparents not disappointed but full of love and understanding. My grandparents love their children and want to do everything they can to show their love and support.

From there they started to plan a wedding. My parents had ever intention of getting married but the ideal steps were not taken. They went to the priest at their church to dedicate me and for pre-marriagal counseling and the priest there said I was pretty much unholy in gods eyes. My mother was devastated but fortunately she went to her university priest and he was full of love and compassion and prayed over me and for my parents. Although some things can not be mended things were looking well. My parents were in love and they were going to get married and raise me, however some things were about to take a drastic turn.
