Today is the anniversary of adopting my son. My best day. Right now, he loves it too. I never can decide if I'm being weird though, always holding space for him for when today becomes complicated for him. It will, and I don't want him to worry about my feelings and pretending to be 100% if he's partially sad.

Just a weird momma making art, playing video games, & trying to befriend crows in her TX neighborhood

love this Weird Momma! I was adopted and will always have love for both of my Moms!! Stay Weird!!! 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙

I didn't know that. He has an older sister and maybe a younger brother. It broke my heart for him when they cut off contact but I do my best to be open when he asks questions. I try but I know I haven't been in those shoes. I have a lot of empathy for his other momma. She is young enough to be my daughter and probably needed a safe home to go to when she was a kid.

No one is too old ❤️ I'm 49 and he's 5 rn.
And you'd be surprised about the finances. In Texas and a lot of states, the state pays for basic needs and medical stuff. But fostering is a lot of paperwork and intrusion. But for good reason. If I do it again, I want to foster older kids.
Family is a weird thing. I love my bio family but also have a chosen family that I trust more. It's never once bothered me that I'm not genetically related to my kid or my chosen family.

I've lost the Mom that raised me but happened to find and re-unite with my Bio Mom around the same. I've also a sister from my adopted family who I'm now separated from. Life is crazy and if I could get my life together financially... I hope to pay it forward one day some how - I'm also probably too old now though. There's always a special place in my hear for people who do 🤗
