We have completed a full weekend of classes! We went Friday for 3 hours and Saturday and Sunday for 6 hours each! We are well on our way! Our next class is on Wednesday. The classes are....well scary! One horror story after another. I will make it a goal, to have a fairytale ending to our adoption story! I am not jaded yet!
Today, I told my supervisor at work that we are adopting. I had to tell him for 2 reasons: 1) I have to change my work schedule on Wednesday, in order to make the class and 2) because I had to put him down, along with his direct telephone line, on the application. He was very supportive and we actually had a lengthy conversation about his experience with fertility with his wife and adoption in general.
My mind keeps racing! I plan to call my son's pediatrician and dentist today, so I can see if they take medicaid, in order to have these lined up for a new baby!
The instructor for our class suggested some adoption books to purchase for our future baby. She said we should start buying them now! I wonder what else we should be buying. One of the books is by Jamie Lee Curtis. It was so cute! I had no idea that she had adopted! She has written several childrens' books on the topic! I can't wait to check them out!
I have also been gathering photographs for a book we will have to make for the homestudy about our family. There are so many to choose from and different angles to take the book. I feel overwhelmed with it!
I wonder when we can start thinking about names.....
I'm so excited for you :)
