Lazy Sunday

So I want to tell you why I believe in God. I will always tell you that God will provide. I know this is hard to believe expecially when you have to take a leap of faith. So I told you that I left the Deli to take the job at the school. Well I knew by doing that I was taking HUGE pay cut but I really have always felt this is where God wants me to be. Well I knew I could take on another job but didn't really want to work so late or a ton of hours because I am married and I am in school.

So get this. Today a girl in our nursery quit. I know isn't that great! I mean it did cause a ton of stress on the other lady in the nursery but there was only one kid so it wasn't to bad, it just fustrated her a bit. SO they are considering me for the job! I know it's awesome. Some extra money and some experience working with all age groups. :-)

At a very young age I told you that my parents told each of my siblings that we were all adopted. They told us all before we can even remember and all in different situations. With my brother they were actually watching Opera and it was a show about when to tell your child they were adopted. My Mom looked at my dad, they were feeding my brother at the time and he was like 1 years old, and asked, "When should be tell Phillip?" and my dad replied, "How about now?" He then turned to Phillip and said, "Phillip you are adopted" he looked at my dad and replied, "Nooooo." He obviously had no idea what they were saying but my parents wanted us to always know. They did not want us to grow up and find out that we have been lied to all of our lives.

The fact that I have always known I was adopted did not change my relationship with my parents. They are my parents, they are the ones that taught me how to walk, talk, they change my diapers and feed me, kept me warm. They have loved and cared for all of my life. Does that means my biological parents did not?

No. I would guess that in most cases that the reason why children are put up for adoption isn't because the parents want their child to have a better life, it's mostly because the adult doesn't want the child to mess up their life. So although they are doing the right thing for the child, their motive is not in the right place.

I can tell you that most people I have met who are adopted either have no desire at all to meet their biologcal parents or they want to but are to scared that they will be disappointed with what they find. Most people do not have what I have.

The day I was born, my biologcal mother said to me, "I want to meet you again someday."
