No i'm not talking about having pride in my state. I'm talking about our Parent Resource Training! Last Saturday we attended our first Adoptive parent classes. We have about 4 other couples who are looking to adopt there and there were 3 couples training for foster care and about 20 who were there for kinship care.
We actually learned quite a bit about foster care and kinship care. We had home work and will have some type of home work each week. It was rather easy and we didn't take long completing it.
I am really looking forward to going back this week. I heard from my CW yesterday and after we have completed half of our sessions she is going to put in our refferal for the Homestudy interview!!!! (doing a little dance:))
I am so totally excited about getting the homestudy done and over with! that is half the battle!
Last time I was so nervous that I could hardly concentrate.
We are now working on getting the bedroom ready. We still need a bed and dresser and I'd like to but a bean bag chair or something like that in the room. I think every kid needs a chair of some kind in their room.
I have been working on a small life book for our child. It has a poem I wrote some pictures of us and Holly and our animals as well as a place for pictures of Grandparents and Greatgrandparents. After he/she comes home he/she will be able to add whatever they like to the book because it is my gift to him/her.
Okay I'll be completely honest I want a GIRL! I'd love to have a toddler! I'm open to older children we have just had older children for a very long time and are ready for some little ones.
We are so glad to have someone to share all of this with! I am glad I have readers who haven't given up on me.
Keep us in your prayers and our new child too. (whom ever he/she is)
