Yup it is foul but I joke as a defense to the sadness that minority children are not valued in the system worth 3 nickels. A white baby will get snatched up quick, but people would rather adopt internationally than take a black baby in. Also, bigirl is not lying they make you jump through a lot of hoops here in the US.
I have nothing against international adoption (many of my friends have adopted from China and I love their little girls!) and I would like to do it myself but NOT to the exclusion of the many minority children right here that need homes.
I think for all of the above I'm going to say right now. It's weird and exciting for me to be able to truly call myself an adult with no hesitation. I'm going through the biggest transition in my life now, graduating from college, going to law school, living on my own, having my own...it's exhilirating!
If I can just find a man, it'd be perrrrfect.
Oh, I am aware of the difficulties Izzy, my dad actually adopted my older brother. This was around 1978 and he told me they put him through hell. I work with kids on the regular and if I am unable to have a child of my own by age 40, I will do everything in my power to adopt one or two (definitely minority).
^^^^^^^Good for you C&C ... after all that hardwork you put in I'm sure it'll only be uphill from here on for you
The happiest time of my life was when I gave birth to my son ... I remember holding him in my arms while sitting in my hospital bed just staring at him for like hours ... it was incredible to me that he came from me
Oh ... and I'm not too hapy with my life right now ... but I know things could be alot worse ... so I'm counting my blessings ... and working towards a better life
Co-sign. When I first saw my son in that hospital room I never thought, knew, or dreamed that I would ever love something or somebody so much in my life. There is truly no feeling in the world to describe it.

Iz, do you have any idea what kind of microscope they put people who want to adopt under? Shit, I tried to adopt a rescue dog once and they wouldn't even let me adopt the fucking dog
Holla when your ready I got that supersperm.
Uh thanks but I think I'll go with a man who doesn't say words like supersperm....

YOU AINT LYING!!!
They talk all that mess about wanting you to take one of these dogs home but they treat you like a criminal when you come in. You just tryna do the right thing....Damn ASPCA!
You better stop worrying about getting older and enjoy the ride, Bi. I have found that all those feelings we think are dependent upon external events beyond are control are, in fact, under our control. Guy told me that years ago and I didn't believe him. Life was great, plenty of money stable (but a little flat) marriage, challenging work. But then all my personal shit became unglued at once, and I was forced to give myself those feelings that used to be driven by outside. How? I try to take really good care of myself, and most importanly I try to do something for someone else everyday. THAT'S THE KEY. You seek to live a life of service, and all kinds of good shit comes your way.
I'll see 50 before I see 40 again, and I don't know about 40 being the new 20, but I have never felt better in my life physically. My personal life is a disaster, but fuck it, I'm doing the best I can. My professional life is off the chain, and I have never been next to so many beautiful, educated, accomplished, and fun women in my life. Yeah, they are still women and still a pain in the ass (you know what I mean fellas, right?), but damn there is nothing like a black woman. When ya'll want to put it down for a brother... SHEEEEET!!!
So cheer up, Bi. Excercise, Meditate. Go to church (or whatever you need to do for spiritual balance). Be good to you. Find some GOOD sex (I don't mean that sweaty, lemmee skeet, I'm done bullshit- I MEAN REAL GOOD SEX!!!). Do something for someone else. Hell, you want a yungun, either adopt one or gimme a call and I'll see if I can fit you in. BUT DON'T LEAVE YOUR HAPPINESS UP TO EXTERNAL CONDITIONS. Life is far too short, and we ALL go through far too much bullshit.
Find a lil happiness, kid.
Happiest moments of my life probably existed when I was in graduate school in NYC...I felt so liberated and was receiving some great instruction by terrific teachers. I begun to travel outside of the U.S., and meet people from all different walks of life. Back in the south now, I feel almost desperate, at times, to meet people whose viewpoints aren't as one-sided or conservative as people I met while in NYC...
Also, I was "living a dream" by living in NYC, even if it was for only 3 years...I got to experience it, and can always look back at those years as such a fun time...

The experience of living in NYC is like no other. Even if your experience was bad you won't experience anything like it in any other city.
Definitely my best memories come from my first 2 years in undergrad. I had more freedom and everything was new to me and for once I felt like all doors were open. I had good jobs during school and no debt and very few bills. I made my closest friends there and learned a lot about myself and what kind of woman I wanted to be. I also learned a little something about men too

Glad to hear it, anyone else?
