Amanda mentioned in the last post that we have orientation with Bethany next week, but we were excited to receive an email last night about some upcoming adoption training.
When we met with our case worker last week, she told us that we may not get our mandatory training done until sometime in March because of schedule conflicts. We weren't excited about that because the training has to be completed before the home study can begin. If training doesn't happen until March, then the home study wouldn't happen until April and things would slow down a lot. We were happy to hear just before we went to bed last night that the training has been scheduled for Thursday, February 17th. A whole month earlier than expected! It's a five hour training session about becoming adoptive parents and all that good stuff. This is a direct answer to prayer.
Thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. As Amanda said, it's crazy to think that there's a mother out there carrying a baby that we will welcome into our home. We continue to pray for that mother and child.
