New role in my life and getting better
I have a new role in my life and getting better.A mom now,adopted a 14 year old boy whom calls me mom now.His name is Justin and doing great since the adoption became final in August.I am currently in the process of adopting his 12 year old sister,Angel and they are glad to be together again.Been through enough of going through foster homes.Angel's Christmas wish is to be with her brother and in a loving home.Hopefully the adoption of her becomes final soon.This was my only option left since I can't get pregnant.Also getting better from a trauma,I was in a semi truck car accident 3 weeks ago.A young kid about 17 years old in a Honda Accord ran a stop sign while texting on his cellphone and I ended up running into the passenger side.I was test driving a semi for a power performance problem and the rear brakes locked up.I was shaken right up thinking it was my fault and the cops said it wasn't my fault.What saved me was having my CDL and medical card on hand.Also my boss's semi trucks have video cameras,this one shown this kid texting on his cellphone and running the stop sign.Seeing a therapist on it.Also learned this kid lost his left leg above the knee which was amputated and his family including him are not mad at me.He knew what he did was wrong and learning his lesson now in the process of having a prosthetic leg made.

Re: New role in my life and getting better
Sorry to hear about the accident but I am very glad to hear about becoming a parent. I was adopted myself and have come to realize how lucky I was to be adopted and be able to be the person I am today

Re: New role in my life and getting better
Bitter and sweet. Life has them both. Good for you with the adoptions. I hate to see kids struggle in bad situations. What your doing is a very fine thing mom.
