But yesterday I signed up for the “national-novel-writing-month” contest. A little bit late I know, but it seemed like a fun challenge when I first got time to find out what it really was. I am of cause not sure if this is going to be something I will manage to finish. But sometimes it is fun to just try! And then it is fun to do it together whit so many else across the world.
So maybe there will be some fewer post from me these weeks. I have to write 2000 words each day to meet the requirement of a total 50000 words by last day of November.
I’ll keep you posted on my words, by today I have 4124 - and are right on schedule! ;o)

Today I have had two visits from the media. One radio and one television. I don’t like it, but felt it was right of me to do. It was about the adoption and me becoming a single mother (if everything goes as planned).
I am so afraid of saying the wrong thing - would rather have a newspaper where I could read the interview before it got printed. But, hey - they were nice 
So now I’m sitting here all nervous and waiting for it to air, hoping that people around me think this is as good news as I do!!
One thing am I sure of: to adopt is the right thing for me to do! Of course I want my child to have both mom and dad, but right no there is no dad in this house and I don’t know if there ever will be. (even though I do have hopes) And that is the case for so many children who live happy life after all. So is it then my responsibility to let my child know other adults of both gender. Give her or him someone to look up to and to trust. And then I have to be here, this is my life from now on - this is what I make my priority. To be a mother.
