Dreaming Big

I have been wanting to finish up my education for years. I have tried many times to get it going again. I have failed numerous times. I am in the process of getting things together to apply again. For this situation, I am going for something very specific. I want to receive my registered nursing degree. It will start out as an associate’s degree. I look forward to putting that degree upon my wall in one of those gorgeous diploma frames.

I know that right now that I am highly educated. Most of my education has come from the school of hard knocks. That type of education does not allow me to get the job that I want to help raise my daughters in a healthy environment. It does not allow me to get them the very things that they desire and deserve. I also want my daughters to have a great education. With that degree, I will be able to get them that education. I want them to be able to place their diplomas and degrees in one of those beautiful college diploma frames. I want them to have the world. For me, that means that I have to get a degree in order for them to achieve their goals.

The Demons In Adoption Award Winner

Have you seen this year's winner for the Demon in Adoption Awards? Its Bethany Christian Services. I personally believe that it is a well deserved reward.

According to the article:
Anti-abortion pregnancy counseling centers have been a growing phenomenon since their invention in the early 1970's and are one of the main suppliers of infants for the adoption industry. With more than 1100 anti-abortion pregnancy counseling centers, Heartbeat International is one of the largest supply chains of infants. Three out of the five aforementioned, Angel in Adoption receiving centers, is an affiliate of Heartbeat International, and so is the subject of this article, Bethany Christian Services.

Of course they also did the Sixteen and Pregnant on MTV recently as well where they showed an exchange happening on the street corner. I have heard repeated stories where they coerce women out of their children. They make false promises of open adoptions. They let the openness in those adoptions fail.

Congratulations for being the Demon in Adoption.
