You had such a great experience in South Korea, so why not go back? My second choice is India. You seemed pretty excited to go there back when you thought you would be adopting from there.

I totally want to go to both! South Korea is high on my list of places to run away to lol

Hey there! Long time no see! I just wanted to say that this is something that I think a lot of moms, single or not, are struggling with. Just coming to yourself while still taking care of another being. I think it just takes time and little steps. I hope things will calm down soon!

Adoption isnt about ownership its about giving a child another opportunity.
@SimplyMicheleLynn5 ай бұрын
I totally agree with you! Attachment needs to happen though in order for families to be successful though.

Can’t imagine how difficult this is, taking care of special needs child plus everything else. Question: when you considered this adoption, did you visualize the future hardships?
@SimplyMicheleLynn10 ай бұрын
I knew it wouldn't be easy but honestly absolutely nothing can prepare you for parenting (even a typical child) until you're in it. There has been some stuff that I was fully prepared for but other stuff, like sleep issues and the endless noise, I couldn't imagine what it would be like. Also work has changed a lot over the past couple years, which there was zero way of knowing that. Most days when I'm super overwhelmed it isn't because of parenting, it's because work takes so much from me when it didn't before so by the time I get home I already have nothing left to give. Weekends and holiday breaks are amazing usually because with the work stress off my plate I can manage everything else. It's a huge reason why I'm hoping to change careers eventually because it's burning me out.

Would you be comfortable using respite care? Part of my problem is I don't think others understand my son the way I do. Also, after so much time in institutions, I don't want him to feel he has been sent somewhere else. At this point there is no one but me (my sister is a big help) to care for him, but even if there were I'm not sure if I would be comfortable.
@SimplyMicheleLynn11 ай бұрын
Unfortunately I can't seem to find anyone for respite! I have one friend that does it occasionally but because it's so rare I usually use the time to clean the house.

I have to set a timer. I tell myself I'm just going to do it for 5 minutes and then I don't have to anymore. Sometimes I only do it for 5 minutes but that's 5 minutes more than if I did nothing. Most times I do a lot longer though because once I get going I hyperfocus lol

Not bad. But it's summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the northern, so it's not actually that uncommon

Yes, I know that, I was just joking 😂 I originally tried to find the temperature at the North Pole but there isn't a weather station there so it was hard to find a temperature to compare it to.

Single mom here. I've commented before, but don't remember what it was about. My son is also from Bulgaria...Down syndrome... nonverbal... Autistic tendencies...(whatever) We are much older than you...68 and 22. My son came home at 17 years old. I've recently made contact with his birth family. I enjoy listening to ramblings so look forward to your posts.
