Telling mum

I told my mum last night that we are going thru this process.

Now I have to explain abit about my mum.

 

She is a wonderful, loving caring mum but finds it hard to be supportive in a positive way. I know its just her way and has been since we were little but mum always finds a way to put a negative angle on things. I think its her protective instinct to stop us from getting hurt but once in a while it would be nice for her to say – that’s great tell me more about it, I think it would be fantastic  – you and John would make great parents etc etc etc  – like everyone has said.

Conversation about fostering some of the ” negative ” things mum said:

” can you afford this?”   – never asked this about IVF so is a foster child suddenly more expensive than a natural /IVF child – god only knows it costs more in the beginning to go thru IVF to conceive the “natural “child

” is it good that they get to see their birth parents, I don’t know if this is a good idea, the parents might make it really hard for you”

” why would you want to take on 2 children with problems” – we have said we’d take up to 2 children and who says they will come with problems. Although I am realistic I know they will more than likely have some problems, but hey that’s what I am there for to help and support them thru the tough times and to try and give them a fantastic life.

” its could take forever before you see  child can you live with the heart ache” – well I lived with 7 cycles of IVF so I am fairly patient I’d say.

” who will you cope not working, don’t you need the money”

Etc etc etc  – I could keep going on but you get the drift.

Does mum not realise that we have thought about all of this. In our present situation we couldn’t afford to do it, but I will give up all my luxuries to do it i.e foxtel, broadband, my ebay addiction..lol etc so we can afford it and really I have yet to meet anyone who can afford a child and doesn’t say its gets hard at times.

The whole reason for foster care is to give a child all the love and caring I have to give, so if they come with baggage that ok too as I have a lot of love to give and help and support plus I hope my 20 years in the child care field accounts for something!!!!!!!!

Had to get that off my chest.

To end on a positive note have put the latest pic of my baby underneath – big 6 month old now……..
