New day

I'm going to return everything I bought for Nick, he doesn't want any of it.  I'm thinking it's because he didn't get me anything, but I don't care that he didn't get me anything.  I just wanted the night to be nice with a good meal and dessert, nice conversation, and possibly watch some Dexter.  Well none of that got done, I went to the living room and watched Bondi while he was sleeping at 6:30.  I'm glad the day is over, and today is a new day.  I wasn't feeling well last night, I woke up around 1:30 vomiting, had about an hour of it.  Not sure what it is since we didn't eat dinner, I had cereal, my favorite, cheerios.  I'm feeling a little better this morning.

My reflections on the book, The. Chosen:
It was a good read, easy read, but it left me wondering.  The book was about five different families.  The social worker (Chloe), a couple about to give birth (Penny and Jason), a single mom with a two year old having another baby (Heather), a couple hoping to adopt (John and Francie), and a couple that was with the agency trying to adopt, but got pregnant on their own (Paul and Eva).  What if my social worker is like the one in the book?  Does my social worker work with both birth parents and adoptive parents?  The book took a turn and the couple that gave birth, wants their child back because the agency isn't paying for their living any longer.  Do agencies really pay for a place to stay for them?  I think it's nice, but what about after the baby is born, they just don't care anymore?  They get their money and are done with the birth parents?  I really hope that our agency has some sort of support for birth parents and don't just drop them to their feet and say...see you later.  Jason kidnaps Paul and Eva's son, thinking it was their baby because Paul gave Francie a ride home from the hospital and Jason thinks it's his baby.  Well in the end the baby is okay and goes back with his parents, but if I read the story right, Chloe helps Jason and Penny leave town.  I really thought this book was going to be about something totally different. 
Needless to say, this book makes me think on ethical terms of an adoption agency.  I believe our agency does have things in place for birth parents after their baby is born, it's a christian agency afterall.  I think I'm going to compile a list and email our case worker.  It will help put my mind at ease.

Have a great day!
