Our Journey

We thought we would let you know what our preparation days hold as we attend each one. We have been given a run down of each day, so here is day 1:

• The Adoption Process
• The Adoption Assessment
• ICA (Inter Country Adoption) Process: From Panel to Completion
• Thinking About Parenting
• Parenting Children from Overseas
• The Impact of the Past on the Adopted Child
• Institutional Care
• Attachment in Action

A breeze then really! Should be a pretty intense day but very informative.

If you are praying for us, please pray that we get to know the other families on the course with us. We have heard from others how, the friends you make on these days can become friends for life. They are other people in the same boat, and we are really hoping to connect with them, and increase our network of those who have been, or are going through the same things and emotions as us. There is something special about going through this at the same time as another family, and it would be amazing if someone there also shared our faith!

We leave Taunton this Sunday, so we are ready for Monday without battling traffic (we had to request the day off work). We will update you all on how the day went after that, then the interviews begin!

We are still working through the paper work. We hope we are doing it all right! You are never quite sure what the right thing to write down is, as we have been told we need to include just the right ammount of detail!! Guess we'll soon find out! Thanks for your prayers,
