Last week i made a wedding cake along with many other crafts! I also encountered a weird lady at OfficeMax on Tuesday of this week. Why bring these both up? b/c they left a weird taste in my mouth. Let me explain...
The wedding cake... I just left the place feeling sad that it was so windy for the big day of this Bride i never met but only talked to. The ribbon on the cake wasn't working very well. The bride's mom was having a very stressful few hours and little things just seemed to be going wrong like the caterers were 2 hours early, no trash cans were designate for the outdoors( except for an ugly one with a crack in it, the cake ribbon was odd, and its was super WARM like 89-91 outside. Oh, and the B&G didn't even show up until after i left ( many mins. after the reception was supposed to have started at.) So, I left there with a weird taste in my mouth.
OfficeMax...
I took only B with me to OfficeMax on Tues to get shipping stuff and i get down this aisle and this hispanic lady says to me - what a pretty girl you have, who does she look like? i said she looks like her b-mom but a lot like Brandon( blue eyes, blonde hair) Oh, you adopted her? the lady says in somewhat of a shocked tone. I said yeah, we did and she says- does she know she's adopted( all of this in front of B) and i said yes and briefly explained that it's an open adoption and that B loves her Tummy Mommy and Her Mommy. the lady said- well of course she loves her REAL mom. Does she see her? i told her she does from time to time and then she asked me how long have i had her? I said she was placed in our arms at 5 days old and we finalized her adoption a few months after that. So, what do you tell her about her adoption?, said the woman. I told her that God had a special Plan for B to be born to her tummy mommy so she could find her way through her, to be part of our family forever. It's a very spiritual thing.The lady said "So, I guess she's pretty much Your daughter and your her mom then, anyways!"
I was thinking in my head "Duh, you silly person. "poor lady, she just doesn't understand that every child deserves a MOM and DAD", i think all babies Deserve to have 2 parents and Every opportunity to live in healthy family enviroment.
anywho, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
Okay Happy NEWS...

Yeah, those are both weird experiences. Awkward! I'm stoked for Annie, too and also to see Shea. And I promise I'll post pics of my house someday!
So, someone left a weird comment in my inbox but i rejected to print it b/c i don't know the person. Also, my postings and comments are MINE not other peoples views. As far as I've been informed it's AMERICA and were all entitled to feel and think and express what ever it is that's on our minds! Thanks. and as far as i know... the hispanic culture is very FAMILY oriented( which is a good thing) so they would rather have the 15 yr old girl keep her baby and and her and her family raise it than to place the baby up for adoption. It's just what my experience has shown me and many others and statistics have shown. I'm not saying ALL hispanics do this or that hispanics should not be interested in adoption. Just stating what i know as facts thus far in state and private agencies. The end!
