I am behind on my posting... I need to get in a grove to keep this up to date. Our Weekend of Parent Adoptive Training was as Jay said "everything you need to know and everything you did not want to know" about adopting from the foster care system. April 24-26 2008
We went to The Gladney Center for 3 8 hour days of training. It was amazing to see the room full of folks there to adopt, around 15 or 20 couples. From all over North Texas. We went over successful adoption stories, the hurts the children have endured, how we have to change our thinking on punishment, car seats, CPR, "do overs", CPS, and many more topics I will write about later. We met a couple, Scott & Marie, that live near us and we went to dinner with them on Friday night. It will be quite nice to have a friend going through the journey at the same time.
We are working on CPS proofing the house & getting it ready for the photos. Lots of little things we have to do to get the home front ready for inspection. Working on our profile book.. taking photos much more on this later, officially joining our church and completing our membership class, and more.

Hey Meg! I just read through your posts after you started following my blog. Are you going to start blogging again? How is the process going?
WOW...I had no idea it took all of that to adopt in the foster system? That's crazy...good, and frustrating! :)
Oh the crazy process. It is nuts but is worth it in the long run. Have fun doing your family photo book! I enjoyed doing mine.
The process is fun... I have to remeber to get some photos of Jay and I when it is not gift un wrapping time.
