Planning to Adopt Again? Why Not?

Image
My plan was to be a stay home mom for 4 years and when she was old enough to be in full day childcare, I was going back to work.   Yes, motherhood to one was motherhood enough.   Let’s just say my plan got derailed! When our daughter turned 2.5, she started asking for a sister.   Initially, I brushed it off as peer pressure when her classmates’ parents were ‘showing’ and popping all around us ( yes, I can still be a sour grape, can’t I?   Grin. ) but her requests were consistent & persistent - lasted for 2 years.    When she was 2, my mother-in-law passed away suddenly and when I saw how my hubby’s siblings came together to support each other in grief, I realized a couple of things.   First, we are older parents, so our daughter will have to go through this earlier in life.   Secondly, she will have to handle all the emotional and physical grief hurdles all on her own!    When we were on a beach holiday, we noticed o...

What About Adoption?

Who am I? I'm now a full time mom, ex-'Love-My-Job-Like-Hell-Never-Thought-I'd-Quit' Marketeer :) The usual story, took too long after getting married to start a family cos (see above para) and realised that it wasn't that easy to conceive.

[If you are on a similar journey of infertility, you're not alone and don't go through it alone. Share with your husband, your mom, your girlfriends and/or be part of a support group and if you can't find one, start one.

Our Lives Are Set For Changes in 2017

My sincere apologies for the radio silence.... I've recently taken a step back to take in all that I have going on in my life and decided to make a few changes.  One of which is, I hope, to be able to blog more.  Either here or somewhere else.  I really feel like a digital dinosaur.  I know I'm a digital immigrant but hey, I've to at least thrive, not just try to survive in this world..... Otherwise, my age will show, haha! (Note to self:  catch up on digital marketing and the latest online happenings... FAST!) I've decided to scale down at work and scale up at home..... The elder girl will be in P6 next year and small one will enter P1.  Both will be in the same school and the hubs and I are really really grateful, thankful and chaffed that they are sooooo happy!  We went for the P1 orientation today and the small one had a personal tour of the school already by her big sis.  I could tell by both their expressions that they are both cont...
