Education

Well, we're all signed up to start some of our education. We are taking a class online call "With eyes wide open: A Preparation Guide to International Adoption." I just registered us for that, and I'm ready to start it, but I guess we'll wait until tomorrow. We have to do it together, so I'll wait for Bill. I'm also reading a book called "Raising Adoptive Children." It's pretty eye opening. It makes you think of things you otherwise wouldn't have. No matter how much we want to think that color and culture changes don't matter, they do. It does to the child.

I am gratefully doing all this because it is taking us one step closer to our baby, but it just amuses me a little. We have to read books and take classes in order to "prepare" and be ready for our international adoption. Yet biological parents don't have to do anything. It just seems funny to me because I feel like it's one of those things that you won't really know how it is, until your in the situation. Oh well! I guess it's better to be prepared and know what things might come up, or what things our child may ask us one day!

On another note we, along with my dear friend Beth, passed out about 350 "Gift wrapping" flyers today in Rolesville! It wasn't too bad though! We are trying our best to broadcast it and let people know. I hope people come!

Well, have a great night's sleep everyone!
