Talking to my sister about International Adoption, I went off on this spiel about what I want in a partner.
God has given us varying degrees of tolerance. You have this opportunity to be a parent, a guardian, a person to love, teach, and nurture. You can give all of this to a youthgul life. It is amazing that you are open to the idea of adopting children, especially those of another culture. You also have to realize that there are so many great opportunities for adoption here in the United States. Regardless of what you choose to do, the child will be an amazing light in their generation. You and your partner will make a great parenting team, and whatever road the two of you choose to walk you will be blessed along the way! :)
Yes, many people have baby fever, but I just want to be in a relationship. I however do NOT want to rush into anything. A friend of mine, her mom is going through a divorce with her dad. Her dad has never loved or was affectionate towards her mom. He is not kind at heart, and her mom is extremely sad says, "My husband of 31 years never loved me." It is so painful to hear those words. :( I do not want to rush into a relationship where my significant other does not show me affection and love me truly. How do we as strong women in our society let this happen? It is time that we stand together and fight for our rights yet again, we do not have to settle for anything less than our best, and that includes the guys in our lives.
I am currently between a rock and a hard place with a relationship. The guy shows me minimal affection, but I think I love him. My friends always say, you must listen to your heart and just be. Come what may! But, just being is difficult. Right now he is my best friend, and I do love him. Only time will tell! :) The question that must be asked next is what exactly am I looking for in a life partner?
I want someone who will not only love me with all of my flaws, but will appreciate that I have goals and dreams. I want someone who will encourage me to be my best everyday and to strive for living the fullest life possible. I need someone who appreciates raw natural living, and will support me on my mission to be the healthiest I can be. I want someone who will hold my hand in public, but respect others around us. I want someone who longs to see me and speak to me, who wants to grow old with me, and wants to walk every miss lead path with me. I need someone who wants to dance and play in the rain. I want to have a burning passion, desire, and spice between my lover and I for eternity. I do not want money, material possessions, or social norms to get in the way of our happiness. I don't want to ever have any doubts about my partners’ integrity or faithfulness. We will always be each other’s number two choice, because we will both love God with all of our hearts. He is our eternal lover, who has loved us before we even knew each other, and we will be content knowing that we both have our hands spread out walking towards God, being his tangible hand in all that we do. Our communication will be our number one best attribute as a couple, because communication is the key to any good and successful relationship. Lastly, I want our flaws/weakness to compliment each other’s strengths, so that we can continue to learn from each other.
I now ask you, what are your views about international adoption and/or what do you long for in your life partner? Doy you believe in soul mates, or love at first sight?
