It Won't Be Long!
Our social worker called me just a little while ago. She told me that our meeting on January 8th will actually be our first class. We will be going through the DT (Deciding Together) class, rather than the MAPP class and it will only take about seven weeks. If everything goes according to plan, we should be finished around February 19-20! Then, we will be ready for background checks and a home visit.

Anxious
Now that school is over for me for the semester, I have a lot more thinking time. I'm starting to feel anxious to get our adoption journey started. January 8th is 20 days away and it doesn't seem like it can get here fast enough. Thankfully, Christmas is nearly upon us, my little brother is coming "home", my dear friend is coming to visit, and we will be heading to Arizona for a week vacation. I'm shopping tomorrow with a friend and then will do some work around the house. I also still need to wrap all of our gifts. Time will fly, but the few days before everything starts up will crawl by. I hope I can get some sleep!

A Meeting Set!
On January 8th, we will be meeting with a social worker to get things started for fostering to adopt! I'm so excited!
I still haven't heard about the private adoption situation, so I'm fairly confident that the opportunity has passed and that it isn't meant to be.

No News and Good News
No news:
We have yet to hear anything on the potential private adoption situation, so I'm not holding my breath that anything will come of it.
Good news:
The recruitment officer from the foster/adopt agency we have visited with called me today. It sounds like she wants to get things moving for us as soon as possible. She plans to take a day soon to do a walk-through in our house to give us a head's up on what will need to be taken care of prior to our home study. She wants to do our fingerprinting and background check on the same day. It also sounds like they want to put is through the more accelerated class, which will take less than seven weeks to complete.
We'll plan to continue on with our plan to foster/adopt. If anything changes, we'll do what is best for us. I need to leave this in God's hands and trust He has a plan for us and the child who is waiting to come into our family.
