My Husband

My husband has an odd reaction to change. The first word out of his mouth is "NO.". One time I surprised him by bringing a kitten home from the Pound. When I presented the little black fur ball her said and I quote. "If that thing shits on me he's out". So the little black kitten proceeded to get up on his lap, take a little snooze and shit on him. That was ten years ago and Matisse as my husband Peter named him, still sits on his lap.



I can't however spring adoption on my partner. This has got to be a solid decision made by both parties or my kids will suffer and I'm not having them suffer any more than they already have.



My strategy is to visit the Wednesday's Child website in the evening and look at the pictures and read about the kids. By the time we got to the end of the list both of us were in tears, for ourselves and for the kids.



You've got to understand that Peter and I had put the idea or ever having any children out of our minds. This was a new door. A new door and both of us needed to adjust before we moved to the next step.
