APPROVED!!

We are SO EXCITED, we got our approval letter and pre-adoptive foster care license from Bethany and of course our bill (not so fun, but necessary). We will be sending the check in the mail and as soon as they receive it they will now officially begin to show our profile to birth moms, meaning we could get "the call" any day!?!?!?
Thanks as always for all the support as we waited!!
We are going to our first adoption educational classes this weekend, we have to get 18 hours in each. I know it is going to be really helpful and insightful, this one is all about the birth parents/adoptive parent relationship and how this all affects the adopted child. There will be birth and adoptive parents there and adopted children to share their experiences. We are looking forward to this big time!
