Found out yesterday that the Colorado agency will accept our home-study
and possibly the training through Boulder County. This means that we
will have to pay about half the cost and do an "update" rather than a
whole new home study. And, we might not have to go through the
Education and pay that fee because we did the training for the foster,
fost-adopt program before caring for Little D.
The next step is to fill out the preliminary application with the Colorado agency and pay that fee.
We have a conference call with the agency in California. They will be
our placement agency, circulating our profile book and matching us with
birthparents.
This process is definitely going to be a test of my patience. I am of
the personality type who when I have a goal or direction, I want to be
there now. I want it settled right away. I want to already be where I
envision. Mike has wonderfully reminded me many times that there will
always be a next phase in life. There will always be something more to
accomplish, something more to attain. Remember to enjoy the process and
be happy with where you are.
So much of this process is going to involve waiting on other things or
other people. I have to work on letting go. I have to become more
comfortable with knowing there are parts of this process that is out of
our control.
