Geek Boy and I attended our first training session for the adoption. It just absolutely baffles me how much training we have to go through in order to save a child and to get them out of the system. All the while, in most cases the mom and/or dad are not providing adequate care and are in no way shape or form able to take care of an innocent child. But it's like we are guilty until proven innocent.
But with that being said, we are still trudging forward with the process. It looks like we can finish 90% of our training classes by the end of July. There are a lot of what if's in this process. But we are certain that some place out there is a boy that is ready to join our home. It's just very overwhelming to hear of the "baggage" these kids come with.
There probably won't be any new developments for a couple of weeks. Our case worker is on vacation next week and we aren't scheduled to take another training class for two weeks. We may postpone the class due to a scheduling conflict. In the meantime, we are still organizing and decluttering the house. My goal tomorrow is to finish painting the hallway and then the next thing I want to do is clean out the pantry to get all of the chemicals out of a child's reach. Basically we need to baby proof our house. My 19 month old niece is coming over in a few weeks and I think she'll be able to help us out in that area...LOL

How exciting for you! I know you think this is going slowly, but I'm amazed at how quickly things have progressed from the last time we really sat down and talked. Miss you! Love you! I'm praying.
