This month has also been busy with adoption classes. Let me just say that my love for adoption is growing and growing. We have been attending classes on Wed. nights with about 6 other couples who are also trying to adopt. The first time we went Brett said it kinda reminded him of an AA meeting. But the more we went the more we enjoyed going.
We were able to attend some various panels that I found very informative. One of the panels had three different sets of couples who have adopted and they talked about how the processed worked for them. One of my BFF's--SueAnn-- and her husband Trent were there. They talked about how they adopted their 2 little girls. It was AWESOME to hear everyone's story and a little scary. All of the couples experienced a few bumps along the way, but eventually things fell together.
My favorite panel by far was the birth mother panel. It was amazing. My love for birth mothers grew so much that night. There were 3 women who gave up their babies, and they came and shared their stories with us. They talked, and cried, and it was so special. I think this process is making me a more understanding person. The spirit was so strong that night and I will forever be thankful for the lessons I am learning and how this process is shaping me into the person I am :)
