well, so much has happened to me in the past week. today i had a very important meeting with my friend, kelly*. kelly is a substance abuser, and has been caught. the problem: she has a son, of three years: Trevor, who has no where to go. so kelly and i talked for hours and came up with a plan. i will keep trevor for a month, and during that month, kelly has to get a job, stop using drugs, clean herself up, and earn enough money to be substantial with trevor. unfortunately, if she cannot do that, she will be forced to go to rehab for at least a year, and trevor will be given up for adoption. if trevor ends up being put up for adoption, i will most likely adopt him. considering i am his god mother, and i have been in his life since he took his first breath three years ago.
trevor moves all his stuff in this weekend, and i am terribly excited. since he is already three, his is potty trained and all, so all i have to do in the next couple of days is baby-toddler proof the house and buy him some toys and new clothes. since i am his god mother, and i have enough money to provide trevor the very best, and keep myself happy, i was the chosen one from my friends list. when i got home from my very long meeting with my friend, i spend almost two hours on the computer trying to find where trevor's father is, but i just cannot find him. some say he moved to Australia, some say he got shot in a drive-by (he reminds me of the main character in Step Up, one white guy hangning out with a ton of African americans because thats where he belonged) and some say he is in jail because the cops caught him with tons of illegal drugs and such. sounds familiar. i never liked that guy though (he didnt have a personality even close to the guy in Step Up, even though thats who he reminded me of) even though kelly was sure she was in love with him. they dated maybe six months, if even that many. so yeah, they didnt last long, but no one thought they would.
so i will have a little boy running around my apartment for a month starting saturday morning. now my house will be filled with me, my roommate, my dog, and a little boy.
how fun (:
do you think me helping out a friend was a mistake?? what is your opinion on this situation!? i would love to know.
