Checking off the boxes.
Filling out the paperwork.
Sitting in a training for two days.
Those three things have been our life the past few months. We are getting closer and closer to finalizing the adoption. To say that we are happy is not the truth.
We are THRILLED! We are beyond happy!! We have no words to explain how we are feeling.
Does it mean that we aren't scared? Nope. We have moments of fear. The unknowns are scary. What unknowns could there be?
What if the adoption falls through?
What if the judge says no?
What if something shows up the day before adoption?
What do we do when B starts asking questions? How do we answer them?
What if the answers we give her don't satisfy her need to connect to her birth family?
What if she has more needs in the future that we didn't know about at this time?
......and the list could go on.
We know through the training that we sat through the last two days that we have post adoption resources that we will have to utilize if need be. Jeremy and I say all the time how thankful and blessed he are to have such wonderful support from friends and family. We also know that we may have to use other support systems. And that is okay. We will be okay with that.
Hopefully, in my next update, I will be able to tell you the day of the adoption! I can wait to share photos of B and the things that we have done in the last year!
Until next time.......
