I realized that I have not updated my blog since over a month ago when I announced that we were going to be taking classes to becoming foster parents and hopefully adoptive parents to a child. Well we have 3 classes left......THREE!!!!!!!!!!! I can not believe that we only have 3 more! It was so OVERWHELMING in the beginning when I would sit back and think that we had to go through 13 classes, 2 nights a week for 3 hours each class.And now I can ALMOST see the finish line, we are almost getting ready to break through the tape!
There has been so many different signs that tells me that we are doing the right thing. Two that I can remember so vividly is our first night of class, we just pulled into the parking lot and Carrie Underwood's song "Temporary Home" came on the radio and for those of you who have never heard of it, it is about alittle boy moving from home to home who is in the system (very heartbreaking) and than yesterday a clip on ESPN came on regarding a NFL athlete who had a rough childhood, mother signed over her rights to the state and than a women stepped in and raised him as her own. Just reinforced why we are doing this, going down this road. That a positive relationship with an adult can make a HUGE difference in a child's life.
So please stay tuned and follow along as the Webers start this new journey!!!!
