Almost Finished with Training!

So our very last PRIDE class is this Saturday, May 10, 2008. I can't believe how fast it has gone. Last week I got a call from our caseworker K and she said she has a couple of things in the process for us and we are one of the prospective parents for a 1/2 Hispanic 1/2 caucasion 3 year old little girl. She said as soon as we finish our class on Saturday to set a date so she can do our final walk thru and we will see what happens! Is that not exciting or what? She also said not to get our hopes up, but just the idea that it is a possibility that we will be parents by this summer gives me goose bumps!

I have been thinking a lot lately how our lives would change if we had a child in our care and I don't think we will miss it being just the 2 of us for very long. The only down side to getting a child right away would be that my in-laws will be staying with us for 5 weeks starting June 11th - July 17th so I'm not sure that it would be a great idea to have someone else in the house when we are trying to bond with our child, but I guess we will just have to make it work. The plus side to having them there is I would have more help and since my MIL is an early childhood and development teacher she can assess the child and help me figure out what the best methods of therapy or help he/she may need.

Our vacation is coming up next week so I'm hoping that it won't be a conflict with the whole foster/adoption because we will not be able to take a placement until May 27th. I'm assuming it will take a little time to process our paperwork anyway so we should be okay. Plus the Lord has a plan and it will all work out.
