More steps near

Well, our representative from Depelchin called us with the schedule of classes we have to take to foster/adopt. We begin on April 12th and finish on May 11th. During that time we will have our homestudy done where they come look at our house and ask us lots of personal questions. I am so excited! I hope things go smoothly for us.

We are also closing in part of our garage to make an office. With only two bedrooms we need more space for the child. We should get that going in about two or three weeks. When we are done I will start decorating the child's bedroom. I need a generic theme for the room. When I was a child, I loved Winnie the Pooh. Maybe I will go with that-- but not that classic Pooh stuff. I like the original fat belly red shirt Pooh. I welcome any suggestions for a generic birth to six years theme for the room.

Step 1 Complete

Hi everyone. I am still alive, just so busy lately. I wanted to share with you all that we completed our application for foster/adoption. That may not seem like much, but when you are floundering around with so many options and agencies to choose from it is a big step. I am very excited. Hopefully they will be contacting us soon to begin our classes. I understand the need for all of these tedious steps, but I am ready to have a child. I mean, just about any couple can produce a child with out a lick of training or sense, but people like us who will be wonderful parents have to jump through hoops and climb mountains to have a kid. No fair!! Anyway, keep us in your prayers and thoughts.
