Last Saturday we attended the pre-adoption workshop. We had a great time and it was great to have a little get away too. The meeting was to go over the requirements for each county, have a show and tell time with kids who were adopted and to discuss the aspects of becoming a multicultural family.
By far our favorite part was the show and tell. The kids were so cute. Once they came in the room Nathan was toast and watched them rather than pay attention to the meeting. We were pleasantly surprised to find a couple from Fort Smith among the show and tellers. I knew the wife from a Bible study I did a few years ago, but I had lost track of her and had no idea she adopted from Korea. How exciting is that?
Both of the other families at our table were adopting from Vietnam. It is so interesting to see how God lays on the heart of each family what they are supposed to do (domestic versus international and if international, what county).
This meeting really got us excited and Nathan finally feels like a part of the process. His comment is that he doesn't care about the paperwork or the process, he just wants his baby!
Please continue to pray for us as we seek God's guidance for us with regards to my new job.
Thank you to all of you who are interested enough in us to check our blog. I notice that we have had over 500 hits!
Have a great week!

Good to hear that the meeting went well. It doesn't surprise me, though! Can't wait to catch up!
I love this story, Em. I am also glad you are back in contact with that lady from the Fort who can give you support, etc.
