PRIDE - Session 2 (03/11/08)

Session Two: Teamwork Toward Permanence. This session lays the foundation for understanding birth-family issues and being able to support family relationships.

Well I have to admit, am a little disappointed in the classes so far. I was really hoping to get more out of them. I was hoping to learn more about what each session is supposed to be discussing. Our instructor is from Equador, and is a bit hard to understand. She sort of wonders off on her opinions and experiences rather than discussing the topic at hand. I am hoping that we learn more and more as the classes continue, but we will see. The positive side is that we have only 7 classes left, which means we are that much closer to becoming parents!

For those of you who do not know yet... we have taken a whole new direction. We have decided to give a child or children a loving home that has been neglected, abused or abandoned. We are adopting (asking for/open to) a sibling set of two (or a single child) under the age of 5 years old. We are looking forward to jumping right in and becoming parents and having a "family".

Tomorrow, we have our Adoption Application Workshop. We will learn exactly what is needed and how to complete our application, as well as when the proper time is to start our Home Study! I will keep you posted!

Thanks for following our journey!
