warning this is long! :)
I am writing this for myself if people read it great! But this is more so that I can look back and remember!
So through a series of Drs appointments having our own biological children is out of the question for Steve and I. God has chosen in his sovereignty to close the womb. God was gracious to put some amazing Doctors in our path! One actually refunded our co pay because there was no way he could help and he didn't want to take our money??
What!?!
That was pretty cool!!
So in December we had our final appt and it was clear that we are not going to have children. That was the Friday of Steve's family Christmas party I was a crying mess and we had a party to go to and Steve loving suggested that we really needed to talk this out but we also had the Holiday's to celebrate and Tristen's birthday so we made a deal to revisit this after the New Year! Which as I write this I am shocked I agreed to that but I did! So Christmas came and went and all the other family shin digs and New Years and a nice relaxing week with my hubby!
He is 9!
After New Years one night my friend Erin came over and we were just hanging out talking and she asked whatever happened to fostering to adopted? Something we had previously talked about but for what ever reason we put it aside. After talking about it with her it kind of got us talking about it but there were still a lot of unknowns and all that! So the idea was there hanging around.... Then a few nights later on Twitter we found out that Steve's brother and wife were expecting again. That was hard for both of us but it was what had us really question what we were waiting on we knew we wanted to adopt through the foster program of our state.
Then on January 21st I was hanging with my crafty friends at craft night and my friend Kerri who has adopted told me that her church was hosting fostering classes and to check it out! So a few days later I checked in to it and they had already started and we were heading out of town so I emailed to find out if they were going to do the classes again. A day or so later we left town to visit family in Michigan and when we landed and I turned my phone and had a email back and they said we could join the classes! So we attended ten weeks of classes!
Part of our home study
Where we are now.....
We have all of our paper work done and turned in! As far as we know we are done with home visits. We have the room ready! Now we will just wait for our approval letter and a call for a little girl! YAY!!!!
