One Step Closer (or maybe a few)

This week we attended our second training. We were glad to see some of the same faces as we had in our last meeting. It was a much smaller group, so it was a very relaxed meeting (the doughnuts and coffee didnt hurt either!) We delved a bit deeper this time into the joys and challenges that adoption presents. Some of the couples we were in class with have already been through the process once, and we learned so much just listening to them.

All our paperwork has been turned in, and our file is complete. We should be hearing soon when we can start out homestudy meetings. We are working on paperwork to apply for a grant that would help with part of the homestudy fee. We also need to get started on our profile book. This is the book that will be shown to the expectant parents as they are making an adoption plan. This book will hopefully give them a glimpse of who we are as a family. Trying to decide what photo book site to use. Do you have a favorite you would recommend?

We have also had company this week! E's Dad and cousin are here from out of the country! We have enjoyed having them with us.
