Hey! Well we've officially completed our first adoption class! WOOHOO!! It was all day on Saturday 9am-4pm... but it went by really fast and was really good. We received our official Application packet (I think this will be the 3rd application we've filled out so far!) heehee! It is quite large and indepth and I of course already started making my to-do lists based on what information we need to gather.
We met some other really great couples that are in the same boat as us, and that of course is really neat too! We were really lucky to have some guest speakers come in to speak to the group. We had three birth parents speak to us about their experience and one adoptive family (actually the family that adopted the baby of one of the birthmothers that spoke). Both sets of birthparents have an open adoption with their adoptive families and it was really great to see how well that works out for everyone involved. We'll have to talk a bit more about Closed vs. Semi-Open vs. Open when I have more of an opportunity to write...
Anyway... just wanted to let everyone know that the 1st class was awesome and we are continuing on our way!! VERY EXCITING!!!
I know I have been a real slacker with the posts...but jeez time is flying! I hope to write some more soon on the topics of Domestic Infant Adoption and what that entails...
More to come....
