We attended a required course for Parents in Progress in Omaha the first weekend in December. Here we met with three other adoptive families--two for China and one for Ethiopia.
It was great to have conversations about our fears and hopes for the adoption process with each other and to be able to ask questions to the Holt staff. The director in Omaha was actually leaving for a trip to Ethiopia a few days after our class. We are sure that she saw our little boy!
During the month, Micah and I filled out our 16 page questionnaires. We also had our health papers completed. Micah, thankfully, had just been HIV tested for life-insurance and so his doctor said that was good enough for him to sign off on. I, on the other hand, had to send my blood away to be tested.
...the results are still out.
Julianna was my photographer here--what a steady hand!
The lab tech also, thankfully, had a steady hand.
We are so thankful for the Dr.'s office and Dr. for being so kind and patient with all of the paperwork we pushed their way!
We are excited for next Christmas when our boy will come claim the puppy under the tree that Julianna is taking care of for him in the mean time.
