Adoption Journal #13

Well, Mandy and I have completed our individual interviews with our social worker. We were both asked about our childhood and our families. It was interesting to have to delve into childhood memories, intimacy and family issues with a complete stranger (well pretty nearly). Yet we both managed.Now we are waiting to take another series of classes. Either we will be taking six Wednesday night classes or two full Saturdays of class. No classes are scheduled for the rest of the year, but we are hopeful that we can get the classes done by the beginning of February.After these classes are done we will be ready to get licensed by Orange County Foster Care. Once our home is licensed for foster care we will be able to complete the homestudy and begin receiving referrals. We are hopeful that our son or daughter will be in our home as early as April or May of next year, but you never know.
