Pre-adoption Training

Hello -- so sorry I haven't posted in a long time!  End of the semester at ECC has kept me busy!  I don't have a whole lot to report since early May except that I had my 2nd Home Study meeting a couple weeks ago and today I had my pre-adoption training.  It was great to meet other soon to be adoptive parents.  There were 5 of us at the training with our social worker Ellen. It was great information and focused on attachment with an adoptive child. The others in the training are adopting from Nepal and Ethiopia.  

What's next:  I'm just finishing my 5 page biography, which is really difficult because I don't know what to include - but it's also been really interesting to review my life and how it's prepared me for this journey!  I also need to complete the psych eval (I found a much more affordable place), and I'm getting ready (painting, child proofing, de-cluttering) for my last home study visit in my home which will be in mid-July.  I hope I'm still on track to have my dossier completed and ready for translation August 1.  

I promise I'll write more this summer!
