We are officially certified to be adoptive parents. It's amazing the classes, paperwork, home requirements that are necessary to adopt! I had to go out and buy a shepherd's crook today for the pool. I still need to find a life saving ring and rope. These things are not cheap! Anyway, we had our make-up class tonight with a group of people we didn't know. Blaine had to make up class #8, and since I'm such a great wife I went with him even though I didn't need to make it up. This way we were both presented with our certificates at the same time (but notice the different dates of them:)
It's been an interesting journey so far. It's made us have some good conversations about discipline, rules, hobbies, activities, expectations, etc. of our family+ kids.
Next step...wait for a call to say there's a child available!
YAY! Congratulations for making it this far! You've done so much already.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I think anyone who wants to be a parent should have to go through what you guys did. I'm just waiting on word from you and then it's baby shower planning time. :)
ReplyDeleteHi you two!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've done a ton of work and everything is as perfect as it could be. I wish you the best and hope your wait isn't too long.
lots of love,
