Once we found out that having children was going to be a struggle, we started to realize that trying with faith and the adoption would both take some time and patience. Jeff and I decided to invest in our family very early. We spent the last part of 2006 and all of 2007 educating ourselves. On what? You ask.
We loved our families, and still are blessed with both sets of parents. Both Jeff and I had hard working successful dads, but we remember them traveling and coming home late for dinner. We know that was difficult for them. Also, we know that our moms had to play both parenting roles sometimes. We knew there had to be a better way. My father was a great entrepreneur and I remember him always telling me..."Work for yourself." So we started to educate ourselves. We read all about investing in real estate, then we dove into start up businesses and along the way, we try to aquire tips for smart investing. Our end goal, when God blesses us with the special little ones, we're ready to parent as a team and not as overworked zombies. It's been hard, scary and bonding.
Tomorrow, I will discuss what action steps we took to get our new life started, in the meantime...
go read something to invest in your family's future:)
