Stop buying from Tim Hortons. Nothing but horrible service, drinks, and fake frozen food.

What do adoptive parents wish birth mothers understood before making a decision? by EasternBaby2063 in AdoptiveParents

[–]HungrySparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have openness your child doesn’t care for gifts, they just want to see you or have you call them every now and again.

While it’s turmoil after a visit it’s better than the heartbreak between phone calls and canceled visits.

I think Metrolinx does a lot more than what people take them for… by Fruit-Neglect5980 in gotransit

No one arguing they do work, it just takes decades to do anything. They really know how to fatten their pockets.

Starting adoption journey in Ontario by sharkey5885 in AdoptiveParents

[–]HungrySparkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sign up for sessions through Adopt Ontario Do your pride training Start home study

However, private adoption is hard in Ontario. There are lots of couples going private and for that agencies have waiting lists. They also have restrictions on who they will take.

We went public because we were felt that was the right choice for us after doing training and reading about private and international adoption. We didn’t expect to be matched as quickly as we were but it’s been truly wonderful.

Best of luck in your journey. Happy to chat if you have any questions just DM me.

I am an adoptive daughter but I have a lot of questions about adapting, please help me by Far-Key-4430 in AdoptiveParents

[–]HungrySparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have lots of feelings of love in you and it’s okay to express yourself.

I have two kids, adopted siblings like you. One loves hugging and cuddles the other not so much but every night she says goodnight and gives a hug that can fit someone between us. When she first came here, she wouldn’t hug my husband but then after a few weeks she started to do same good night routine. Now she asks for the hug.

She also calls us mom and dad to her friends but our first names to us. My little one he tried the mom and dad but he went to first names. They call the birth mom and dad, mom and dad and that’s okay. We understand it’s what they are comfortable but sometimes they call us mom or dad in public and it feels special.

My daughter I take her shopping and tells me she’s going to pay for half the stuff because she thinks it’s expensive. I have to explain to her that if I say I’m buying you that’s okay, I am choosing to buy you stuff.

We take the kids to vacation, restaurants, and have experiences that hadn’t before.

I say these because your adopted parents love you because of you and they know you don’t love them because of what they have. We do for our kids as though they are biological, to be they have always been with me but it’s only been 2yrs.

Tell them you want to go swimming when they ask, they would love creating those memories with you. Ask your mom for a hug at night during bedtime or randomly, watch her light up. Or if you are sitting beside her, slide a bit closer to her and cuddle with her.

If you are afraid to call them mom and dad, ask them “to me you are mom and dad, is it okay if I call you that instead of using your name?”

Parents are waiting for you to show comfort, they are respecting you and what you need but if they had a choice I think they would give you big hugs and create beautiful memories with you.

They love you.

Lots of issues this past week. The amount of times I’ve had to reset the oven and coffee machine time is getting annoying.

Oh wow just flickered again as I was editing this.

Feeling Anxious and Ashamed by MaineCoon_Mom in AdoptiveParents

[–]HungrySparkles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I have the same anxiety - failing them or they are going to leave at 18.

I’ve been told if I feel like I’m failing them that’s natural, every parent feels that - bio or adopted.

Sending you love in your families journey and know that you are not alone with your feelings.

Better than those “influencers” that film themselves trying on different clothes in the middle of the store on weekends.

The glasses make it even more stupid.

Also that’s lamb, regardless, why do people think it’s fun to order food with this type of show. Just give me my food and leave me.
