Today Mike and I had a phone conference with a woman at the agency in
California. It's one larger agency with locations in California, Texas,
Georgia, and more states. The reason we've thought to go with them is
that they work in highly populated states, hopefully increasing the
potential birthparents to choose us as adoptive parents. The next step
with them is to go out to one of their locations for an intensive
weekend of training, information, etc. It will help us learn about
writing our birthparent letter, making our online profile, and more.
We're thinking of going to the LA location and maybe fit in a visit with
my family at the same time. We're thinking of trying to make the
weekend in November that they are hosting.
While working on scheduling that, this weekend we're getting our
preliminary application ready to send in to the Colorado agency. We're
going to have our Boulder county forwarded to them.
It's all overwhelming. Yet, I feel like we're getting our minds wrapped
around the complex process and making visible progress. Mike and I
feel comfortable with the direction we're taking. Baby steps, baby
steps. This is a process with many stages of pushing and waiting. It's
a roller coaster process, but I am confident that it will result in us
creating a family and beginning the scary and joyful adventure of
parenthood.
