Today was a most exciting day! Not necessarily the day itself as all I truthfully did was lie around enjoying the last remaining dregs of my waning summer vacation, but at 4:53 pm today, we finally got a response from the social worker who has been assigned to our adoption case! Her name from this point on, shall be T.P., but we are meeting with her next week! In the meantime, we each have a thirty page family profile sheet that we must complete that asks all kinds of questions such as: How did we meet? What was our courtship like? What is the one thing that irks you the most about your spouse? What are the attitudes of the people in your neighborhood, etc. etc. We also must provide copies of our driver's licenses, car insurance policies, high school diplomas, college degrees, references, taxes, marriage license, and so far, that is "all." I know, right? That is enough! LOL. But hey! In the end, we are tucking our child in to their bed, it will be worth it!
Also, we were informed in the email, that we must both complete the MAPP GPS training together, and that there are 5 classes that we must attend, beginning sometime in October. I did promise earlier that I would explain to you what GPS MAPP training is, so this is what it stands for: Model Approach to Partnerships in Parenting --Group Preparation and Selection. Talk about a mouth full! Not only do we have to take part in all five of these classes, but we must also get trained and certified in CPR/First Aid before moving on.
Well, it appears this process is well on its way, and as stated already, we are more then ready to run this race with endurance, to see what the end will be. Until next time, Be Blessed!
