I just deleted a post. On Friday I turned in our application to become foster parents and wrote a thing about it. I think turning in the application caused Mark to come to terms with his feelings about it, or he finally found the words. We are not on the same page with this one. Perhaps I'm rushing. Well, we are going to slow down until we are both equally ready. Because we don't have a huge support network here (no family close by to help) it is vital that we both have the drive to make this work. Mark says he will support me if this is what I want to do, but I think parenting (especially foster parenting) is something that both parents should really want to do. Mark is extremely compelled by the mission of Angels Foster Care Agency, but he has some reservations about how it will effect our family and Divina. So I delete the post. In it I expressed my excitment about a new baby (babies), but I realise that Mark could read it and I don't want to pressure him.

These are each totally different worlds. They have their own language. They have their own mathematics. They're not just smaller-- Each is totally different. But they're complementary, because I am my atoms... but I am also my cells. I'm also my macroscopic physiology. It's all true. They're just different levels of truth. The deepest level of truth uncovered by science and by philosophy... is the fundamental truth of unity. At that deepest subnuclear level of our reality... you and I are literally one."

I'm sorry to hear.
Foster parenting wasn't what I thought you'd be doing, but it's not suprising. It can't hurt to slow down to either see if you and Mark come into a closer understanding and mission or not. Babies needing help are there now, they were there before you moved to CA and they'll be there in a few weeks or months. When you decide to jump into the whirlwind will have great effect on how stable a foster parent you can be. Sounds to me like patience is a healthy choice right now.
