I had some wild dreams last night! In one dream I was giving birth! It was all going well and fine. I remember thinking that maybe this time I will get a water birth (which I wanted with Kaleb but it didn't happen). The dream stopped before I had actually given birth but it was a very comforting and encouraging dream. In my other dream (and I don't remember which came first) I dreamt that some people contacted us and asked us specifically to adopt their granddaughter as the parents wouldn't be able to care for the child. I went to look at the newborn girl. She had darker skin (think her parents were from Philippines or something like that) and dark wavy hair. She was so beautiful and I immediately fell in love with her. My dream stopped there so I don't know what decision we made. I really feel it was a dream from God and that He purposely stopped it there, leaving it up to us to perhaps make that final decision one day. I have thought of adoption at times but I have always been scared of it. I am scared I won't love the child like I love Kaleb, my own flesh and blood. It wouldn't be fair to the child. I am still not much of a kids person. I love Kaleb with all my heart but I still feel a bit uncomfortable around other children and I have no real desire to hug and cuddle other babies. The dream reminded me of the dreams I had before having Kaleb. Both before we got pregnant and during the pregnancy I dreamt of having a child and in the dream I would just feel this amazing feeling of love and attachment. The dreams helped me be less scared of motherhood, something I otherwise feared because I really didn't want children... This dream about the girl has taken away some of my fear of adoption, but I am still not convinced. However I thought that both dreams were amazing and wanted to share. I feel encouraged.

That's great you can dream of a good birth that is going well. You must have hope somewhere deep within. Maybe your dream also could be telling you you're are not ready for adoption because you are realizing your feelings about it. It all depends on how it made you feel and how you interpret it.

Karin, i think you had wonderful dreams. Since meeting you on this site, I have come to admire your strength and perseverance. I agree that your dreams could be a sign. I have had dreams like that which have really led to somthing wonderful. Dreams like that gave me peace after George died as well as a friend of mine.
Adoption is a wonderful thing if you go that route some day. I have known a few couples with kids of their own who adopted and it was seamless. I think of it as this, our own children are not chosen, they are gifts whereas adopted kids, you choose to love them....what a gift to give to a child!

Hi Karen
Wow weird dreams. Could be one or the other, what decisions to make. Take things slowly I know it is scary.
Dreams can come true. I hope one or the other does come true to you very soon.
i'm not a big kid person either but when it is your own you have differenct feeling I think.
I still talk to my Joseph, I asked him to help me get a job I went for and it happens. I just said that as he left me could he please help me try and get through losing him and I got the job.
I hope everything goes really well for you and please take care.

Wow, it sounds like at least your subcncious is ready for another child. It's scarey no matter what your decision. It all takes time but you'll know when the time is right! Take care hun!!

Karin, whether the baby is from you or from someone else I'm sure God would give you that same unconditional love for either baby, I thought about the same thing, "I just want the baby to come from me... it's not the same". But, look at all those innocent babies out there that could need us. We have to think and pray about that. I never could do foster care, to fall in love with a baby and then have it given back-I'm too much of an emotional person for that. I'll just keep praying God blesses you with another baby... Love, Sam

I'm glad you got some comfort from your dreams Karin. My sister's friend adopted a wee girl a couple of years ago. She was 17 months old and had been with a foster carer for most of her life. She was really concerned that the wee girl would miss the foster carer but it never happened. She literally just moved into their family and has never looked back. She is the most gorgeous wee thing, and you would never believe the difficulties she had in her past. It's like she has always been here, part of this family. She's wonderful. What a fabulous thing to be able to do for a child Karin. Don't be scared, if it's what you are interested in. These children just need a mummy and daddy like any others. I wish you luck in your decision.

what an amazing dream! so very vivid! I have a few friedns who have adopted babies from differing places and they are so very happy that they did. one of my friends had to go all the way to China to pick her daughter up and she said that when she got there and the woman handed this beautiful little girl to her she burst into tears. she said the whole experience was soo overwhelming and happy and wonderous. she has now adopted another little girl from china and both girls are hers 100%. she often jokes about the flight and the waiting and the worry being her equivalent to labor! x
