I've been really thinking about this "no maternity leave" for adopting and it's starting to bother me a little. I still haven't spoken to my human resources department about it and I'm a little hesitant to do so. I think I'd rather talk to my team first and let them know once we are eligible and work it out internally rather than corporately (or by the book.)
On another note, I've also been thinking that I may not be eligible for a push gift either. Since there really won't be pushing involved, I don't deserve a gift. Do we get the birth mother a gift? Nah...Does Sean get a gift?
We're going to have to figure out some ways around the traditional system because these were definite highlights of having a baby.
I will make sure to raise these concerns in my home study interview with Mary on Monday. I really hope nobody is taking this too seriously.
On a very serious note, Sean was able to make an appointment with his doctor for mid-February. Not as soon as I'd hoped but we're still within our timeline. They can't schedule me until after his appointment. I think I may be looking for a new doctor. One thing I do have to do tomorrow is contact my insurance carrier and get a letter from them stating they will cover the child when we're placed.
The picture today is of me and Amelia in our hoodies in Newport. She's really cute.

I feel as though you should get a "push gift," (Sean- jewelry always good)b/c you have been pushing to get this baby and all the work that you have done (all totally worth it)I'm all for it! Sean- you should get a little gift too, but it can't have anything to do with Home Depot!
Keep up the good work guys, it's all going to pay off!
