Hello,
Just thought I would fill you in on our Foster Parent journey. Things are moving pretty fast. The agency is a little taken aback by my drive to get through the paperwork and training. They have no idea what a year of waiting can do to somebody. We are done with our paperwork and have CPR and 6 classes to go. Hopefully will have the classes done by July 8th. Although this path looks a lot different than the one to Ethiopia we are embracing it and finding out the things that scared us the most about it, aren't so bad after all. The great thing that we are learning is that there is tons of support for the foster families. There is a social worker on call 24/7 to help with anything that comes up. That is huge! Although we hope to adopt a child that we foster we are preparing ourselves for the possibility of a short term(1 year) stay in our home. We have just come to realize that any time in a loving home will be the gift that we can offer. Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate this bumpy road.
Love,
DMM
