I got to meet someone I work with that has adopted. His wife is one that spoke at that class we attended a few weeks ago. It was great to hear him share his story with such joy. He was also very excited for me – almost welcoming me into a community of those of us who have traveled down this road.
It really is like we belong to this unique group of people. We are all connected with this special bond. Some of us have suffered loss and grief. But all of us have been called to this wonderful opportunity to adopt. Each journey is different, but we all share this blessing of extending our family in such a special way.
So many people have been touched personally by a story of adoption. It may be a family member, a friend, or just someone that you have met once or twice. But there is probably someone you know with a story of the joy of adoption!
On the news front:
No real progress… I did go and meet with our social worker last week to make sure that we had all of our dossier stuff – either 1) correct and finished or 2) in progress/where it should be. She did have to make a call to CIS to find out when our fingerprint appointment is to be mailed out. (We should have already gotten it). But I do see this as sort of a blessing. The closer we get to the end of tax season, the better. But everything else looks great! We are getting closer!
