First Friday ..

Last week just to update, that little boy we cared for is such a blessing. What an amazing little man he is.
We get to pick him up from school again tonight and have him for the next 3 days.. :)

But getting back to last week and the focus on Friday... Our First Permanent Care Education Session.
Matt and I will both admit we didn't completely know what to expect, but what we hoped for and received was confirmation that we were in the right place, at the right time, for the right reason.

We gathered together with 10 other couples and singles that day, and while many already had children, or had fostered children, there were still a few of us that were looking at this as our stepping stone into parenting.

For us, listening to and reading through the information was comforting, and confirming. As we filled in some of the class worksheets we felt this amazing calm inside.  It wasn't scary, it wasn't uncomfortable, it was like we were where we were meant to be.

So just a quick insight, one of the key things you really need to consider when you are looking at Permanent Care, Adoption, Foster Care,  and we guess even other choices such as career, moving, etc.. is What is your Motivation.. are you doing it for the right reasons?

In our case relating to adoption it was Yes.
For a lot of choices and paths we have looked and in the past it has been a case of wrong place, wrong time, wrong information, wrong people involved in it.
But this feels right in every way. Neither Matt or I doubt that there will be a lot of hoops and hurdles ahead of us but for right now we are enjoying the calm that we are sitting in.
