Our Adoption Journey
Apr. 28, 2008
Adoption Education complete!!

This past weekend we finished the 24 hours of CO state-required adoption education/parenting classes. We took the 3-day class in Denver with 9 other couples who are all adopting internationally. These wonderful people are adopting from India, China, Vietnam, Poland, Peru, and Thailand. We were the only people adopting from Ethiopia. The class was sponsored by Lutheran Family Services, and the instructors were awesome!! We learned a lot and were able to share little nuggets of parenting information that we've gained through the almost 18 years of raising 5 children.  Now, with our adoption education completed, we only have a few more papers to fill out, and our homestudy should be finalized by next week. .  God's grace is sufficient, and this will all happen in His perfect timing.

We are a Christian, military, homeschooling family in the process of adopting a hearing-impaired boy (age 3-4) from Ethiopia. We are also praying that the Lord will bring us another daughter sometime in the future. This blog records our adoption journey.
