this is harder than I thought

ok, here's my deal. Wife and I have never been able to have kids, that sucks large, but at a point in my life (maybe 10 years ago?) I quit wishing for it, just too painful.

We became foster parents 3 months ago, and hope to adopt by January of next year. Could happen sooner, he also could be taken away from us, it's a hard fucken deal right now.

I will post pics & an update if/when he becomes a Stevens, I am dying to show him off. He's a very naughty but very awesome little boy. It's weird that I am loving this, but also more stressed than at any point in my life, I see the same thing happening with my wife.

anyway, my point, I have one. This shiat is hard! I think we are very good parents so far, but he needs CONSTANT attention....I am still adjusting to that. We do not just stick him in a playpen and go about our business, we don't even own one actually. We are giving everything we have to give him a happy and wonderful life.

I'll emphasize the following... I AM 43 FUCKING YEARS OLD AND I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD. Also no prior experience.

I'm not biatching, it's wonderful, we are all still learning
