Constant in the Darkness: March 2014
http://constantinthedarkness.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Constant in the Darkness. Saturday, 22 March 2014. My Mom-iversary (a few weeks late! Photo by Karpati Gabor. I've been a mom now for a little over a year. Incredible. After 10 years of wondering, hoping, wishing, it's really here, happening in real time. I just put my little girl to bed, I just cleaned up all of her toys and books, I just recovered a lost soother thrown over the edge of the crib and curddled her back to sleep. I am a mom of a one year old! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dedicated to love a...

Constant in the Darkness: December 2014
http://constantinthedarkness.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Constant in the Darkness. Sunday, 28 December 2014. How lucky I am to be here now with this particular little girl to call me mama, this particular man to call me his wife. How lucky I really am. Tuesday, 23 December 2014. Still waiting for finally. I know there are people who wait on the list for years. We may very well be in this situation this time around. But I wonder if I'd have an easier time with the wait if I had never received those two calls in the first place. If I'd be more at pea...I try and...

Constant in the Darkness: July 2014
http://constantinthedarkness.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Constant in the Darkness. Friday, 18 July 2014. One day at a time. Our paperwork is all in. We're that much closer now to being on the list and putting ourselves out there for another baby. We still have the home study to get through, which should be easier this time around (I think it's only one afternoon this time instead of three home visits like it was the first time). What font size and style? Do I look too forced happy in said pictures? What thickness of paper do I print the copies on? Our checklis...

Fearlessly Infertile: Confessions From an Adoptive Mother
http://christasbabyquest.blogspot.com/2013/11/confessions-from-adoptive-mother.html
Friday, November 22, 2013. Confessions From an Adoptive Mother. Some people might see this as a good thing, as M slowly transitions out of our lives and gives us the space to parent C. Not me. It makes me incredibly sad. I want. Our birthmom to be a part of C's growing up, to witness (even if it's just through pictures) how awesome a kid she made. I want her and her extended family to feel comfortable sending birthday cards or Christmas presents to C, things that we can keep for her to cherish. In bitter...

Constant in the Darkness: Still we wait
http://constantinthedarkness.blogspot.com/2015/03/still-we-wait.html
Constant in the Darkness. Sunday, 1 March 2015. On the other hand, I think I would be depressed if I'd received zero calls. I know lots of people in this situation and the wait is just as hard for them as it is for me. Maybe harder? As someone pointed out last week, we at least know that our profile hasn't been forgotten. And still we wait. I've been concentrating on distracting myself with home projects and planning Moonbeam's birthday party. But my mind is still somewhere else. 1 March 2015 at 21:04.

Fearlessly Infertile: Fearlessly Frugal Has Come to Facebook!
http://christasbabyquest.blogspot.com/2014/01/fearlessly-frugal-has-come-to-facebook.html
Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Fearlessly Frugal Has Come to Facebook! I finally got tired of spamming my friends' Facebook newsfeed with coupons and free sample deals so I decided to create a page specifically for the purpose of sharing deals that I find. I named it Fearlessly Frugal's Coupons and Freebies. At least until I come up with a better (and preferably shorter) name. Please feel free to check it out and like my page if you want to follow along! January 1, 2014 at 1:38 PM. How Do You Measure a Year?

Constant in the Darkness: Letting go
http://constantinthedarkness.blogspot.com/2015/06/letting-go.html
Constant in the Darkness. Sunday, 7 June 2015. I have a weird thing about letting go. Like if I let go of the idea of baby #2 and when that's going to happen for us, it never will. Like being satisfied about my own current life situation will make the next thing I'm hoping for never happen. I know it doesn't make sense, but I feel unable to let the tension related to "when" and "how" just go . just in case by surrendering I'm jinxing myself from the very thing I want so badly from never happening. Actual...
