during our Education Sessions we were presented with the following clip, it is reasons like the ones expressed in this clip that we know we are on the right path, and know that this is where God has prepared for us to go.
I suggest to any one of you who are watching this to have the tissues ready, to have your hearts and minds open to what you read and hear. If Adoption or Permanent Care or Foster Care is something you are considering watch this first.

Short Explanation.. time for more paperwork
I had someone ask me the other day why the change of the Blog name from Adoption to Permanent Care.. Well the truth is Permanent Care is the area we have always been leaning towards..
Adoption is infant adoption (new borns) a process and a path that can be quite lengthy and in the end you bring home a baby.. now while we are not against the idea of having a baby our focus has never been that.,. it has been to become parents, to share our love and care with a child or children that come into our care.
So we felt that the name change was needed.
--------------
and now time for more paperwork.. we received our medical check and life story questions this week.. all I can say is bring on the Medical Checks and Time to do one question at a time in that life story .. Its going to be interesting going through the long list this next few weeks..
I have been sick with the flu this last week and it is finally starting to ease up so fingers crossed this is all the start of something wonderful.
hope you are all well.. take care

Third Friday ... and now what...
sorry its taken a couple of days to get an update in here, have been quite busy helping friends move house so have not had much time near the computer lately.. also haven't been to well, some silly head cold thingy trying to take over and I am almost winning at the moment..
anyways .. last Friday the 26th, as the title said was the third in the PC Education Sessions. the final one before we start our paperwork.
To sum up this last month it has truly been the most extraordinary time. It has definitely put in perspective what we had been considering and discussing over the course, and also over the time we personally were considering where to go and what to do after our fertility issues became a bigger issue that once thought.
Right now we are in a really good place.. we went into all of these sessions with an open heart and an open mind ready to have any questions answered, to make new friends, to understand the support and the process that will be involved and now we are starting the next step in the process.
On the last day, everyone was handed a preliminary application form to fill out, to give a small amount of insight into our selves and our lives and what we are looking at applying for.
So we filled it and and sent it off this week, and now we need to wait for the paperwork to come so we can start working on filling out all the application details and forms: Get Medicals, references, life story's and all that jazz completed.
As excited as we are to begin it all we are going to sit back and wait for it all to roll in we don't want to jinx anything so I apologise if the future posts seem a little vague. They may not be but I am sure there will be some you might read and just go "what on earth are they talking about?" so again in advance I apologise. But in the same breath I don't.
This is a very personal and important time ahead of us and our families and right now we ask that you will keep us in your prayers and thoughts.
We don't know how long or how short this path is ahead but we know everything is in Gods hands and will come to pass in His time. So for now until the paperwork arrives, we wait and we pray and we hope.
