So I haven't posted in a week or so...this severe sinus infection has really gotten me down and out lately! A trip to the doctor, 2 antibiotics and any home remedy I can think of...I hope I'm finally on the road to recovery after 3 weeks of this stuff!
Despite the ill feelings about my sinus', I've still been pushing forward with our foster/adoption classes. We've got 5 more sessions to finish and we'll have all our pre-service classes done! Things are getting real, folks! We filled out our application and mailed it this past Monday. It wasn't too deep, roughly 4 pages of information, plus references and the form for background checks. The lady we're working with said once she gets the application, then our references get sent out. She also emailed us two copies of the very.lengthy.questionaire. WHOA! It's like 40 pages of pretty in-depth questions! I think we're going to start on that tomorrow. It's hard not to get excited during this process because it's like each step we take, we're one step closer to expanding our family. I can't believe we're actually finally doing this! And so far the support we've gotten is pretty cool too. Judy, our trainer, says that's one of the most important things: to have strong support...even if it's just one person.
Judy, she's amazing! These classes are amazing! Jay and I have learned more about parenting in the last few weeks than I have in the past 13 years!
Speaking of which, my "baby" was taken over by a TEENAGER yesterday!!! A teenager! I can't believe it! I think everyone should have to take these parenting classes before even considering having, adopting or fostering children. I wish I could just go spend an entire week at Judy's house and watch her in action! Her and her husband Jim have so much knowledge and parenting advice. They've had 4 biological, adopted 5 and fostered 72 kids over the years! If there is such a thing as experts on parenting, I'd say this couple fits the mold!
Well, time to get off here and guzzle down some more water! YUCK! I wish I were one of those people that just loved water. I'm not. Won't ever be. So until next week, have a great one Peeps!
