tex-mex Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Another small question. How would you take care of a newborn and work at your job? I had to go back to work fulltime as an Elementary Schoolteacher when my baby was 3 months old. It will work out. They can hire a nanny or babysitter.

Heather in Neverland Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I could NOT sleep last night! I am a whirlwind of emotions right now. You ladies and gents are AWESOME...thank you so much for your prayers. I hope to be able to tell this precious baby girl about how so many people from across the globe were praying for her before we even met her. Yes, I will get a little time off (about a month). We plan to get a live-in ahma (nanny/maid). Most of the homes here have an "ahma's" room which is essentially a small bedroom/bathroom off the kitchen because almost everyone here has an ahma. It is unbelievably cheap too. Hague treaty...yes the mother signs away her rights. In fact, that is part of what we are waiting on. The mother to do the proper paperwork, the courts to verify it, etc. Now I know what waiting on pins and needles really means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I am so very happy for you and hope it all works out. It is amazing to think that this trip around the world may have been more about God laying this child in your arms than your job. Huge Prayers for the baby, you, your family and the birth family.
