Wednesday, January 23, 2008. Well last week did not work. We were really trying to get together, but it just was not working out that way with the short notice. BUT There is good news! J is moving closer! Like a LOT closer! She will be about an hour away from us (only about 15 minutes away from my in-laws). I am SO excited at getting together with them! Saturday, January 12, 2008. Please oh please oh please! Short notice and all! PLEASE oh PLEASE can I get some prayers! I just picked up 2 matching shirts...

Confabulations by Me: July 2008
http://confabulationsbyme.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. The visit I forgot to post about. So last month I visited J twice. Two times in 3 days actually! The first was at a mall, we walked around, played a little, and had lunch. It was not as relaxed as I thought it might be, and by the end of it the twins were tired and cranky so that made things a little difficult. So yeah, that's my story :). This year, I came to a few realizations:. I learned that men are ALL the same, but it's ok cuz it keeps them out of our hair sometimes. I learn...

Confabulations by Me: Copy Cat
http://confabulationsbyme.blogspot.com/2008/07/copy-cat.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Ok so this is copied from a web forum I post to, but it is MY thoughts, and I still think them. I wanted it to feel more permanent so I am repeating it here on my blog. Recently I got to be a guest at my friend's visit with her daughter she placed for adoption 3years ago. This is the fourth visit and each time seems to be better and more relaxed and comfortable for everybody. (I have been able to be at all 4 visits so far). This year, I came to a few realizations:. So Those were j...

Confabulations by Me: It really stinks
http://confabulationsbyme.blogspot.com/2008/08/it-really-stinks.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2008. It really stinks when new childless couples come into the adoption world and get slammed with TONS of information, most of it is extremely scary information that has to do with someone else, someone they had not taken a lot of time to think of and consider. I am not blaming them. Many come into adoption with a child on the mind, nothing more at first. I wish there was a better way to educate these ladies, and I mean REALLY educate them. Who does it start with? This is who I am.

Confabulations by Me: September 2008
http://confabulationsbyme.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 08, 2008. From J's boyfriend trying to teach Zman how to play Transformers on his console, Zman giving him "knuckles" (daddy taught him that hehe). Latte bouncing off the walls running back and forth to everybody and showing off how cute she can be without even doing anything specific to her sitting with J's boyfriend singing along with him to a song *melts*. We had such a great visit Saturday! I am so excited for them. J is looking and feeling ready! Anyway. It's only been a couple...

Confabulations by Me: June 2008
http://confabulationsbyme.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 02, 2008. Who is "me" during a visit? I wonder if J's personality is "her". It seems to be, she is laid back, easy going. What is really going on in her mind I wonder? Writing this part of my blog just about an hour after starting it, because I have come to a conclusion about this topic all within this hour! I am going to visit her with the twins at the end of the week. I think I will blog about my conclusion of "visits" and "being us" then as well. I cant wait to see her! This is who I am.

Confabulations by Me: Two years ago
http://confabulationsbyme.blogspot.com/2009/02/two-years-ago.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. We continued up to the counter and found out where we could find Mamma J. We met up with her and her boyfriend, and she told us we had just missed them, that they had been transported (It was them! That was okay. We enjoyed an hour or so visiting with J and A, then left so they could get some sleep. We found an empty waiting area and slept (most uncomfortably) on chairs and the floor for a few hours. We had breakfast, changed our cloths (I think? This is who I am.

Confabulations by Me: October 2007
http://confabulationsbyme.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 28, 2007. Same 9 year old, v.2.0. Adding to the previous conversation with my friends 9 year old. When asked "what does Adoption mean? His answer was: "It means that a mom and a dad die, and the kids get a new family". I did inform him that the twin's mom is still alive, and we have even gotten to visit her. (at this point the 9 year old was annoyed with the conversation and decided whipped cream was more interesting). I'll leave it at that for now :). Friday, October 26, 2007. Actually t...
