This week we got to the adoption center a few hours early to turn in paperwork and left with more to complete. This is a much smaller amount than we previously had and it is a lot more fun. We have to fill out paperwork for a state we lived in for roughly one year, re-write a short form, and the fun part is completing a personality test. The personality test is taken with “yourself” in mind then “your spouse” in mind. Our amazing case worker said it was so she could tell how well we knew our spouse, I’ll keep you updated with that.
We decided to get our home study started next week and have already scheduled our “couple interview.”
Our second adoption class was absolutely amazing and could easily be one of our favorites. We got to meet a beautiful family who adopted (2 sibling groups) 4 children who are now teenagers. This was an amazing visit because many of us in the class had fears and questions about the teenage years and “open” adoption. The couple shared so beautifully of God’s guidance through their open adoption and His plan in their lives.
We admire this couple and could have visited for hours. It was so encouraging to meet someone with a life story matching ours (almost exactly) and seeing in them what we want our life-story to look like in a few years.
Awww!!! God is SOOO amazing!!! I'm so happy that y'all were able to meet that family! How neat to see His hand in your lives in all of this! I wish we were closer! :) <3
