Wow, what a day! I couldn't believe I would feel so excited after our welcome call. I thought it would simply be pro forma, you know... Hi, welcome to the program, lots of paper work ahead, yadda, yadda, yadda.... But instead we had this warm in depth emotional 90 minute conversation touching on many aspects of our lives, the adoption process, our expectations, reality checks, and so much more.
Our director is amazing! I even told her so...lol. She spoke with the right touch of warmth, confidence, and authority, and seemed to be extremely patient and approachable, which is good because I had a lot of questions.
The most exciting news of the day for us was that we were given permission to immediately begin our PIP (Parents in Process) training - a series of 5 parenting classes required for the completion of many of Holt's adoption programs. We're actually starting day after tomorrow. How fun! And we're so grateful that the director was able to squeeze us into this week's class, because apparently the next available start date for us would have been mid-December or January, and that would only have delayed our timeline.
I guess I need to go print out our Module Handouts and Worksheets so that we're ready for Saturday.
The journey has officially begun, and our entire family couldn't be more excited. God is so good!
