Today, I got to meet Henry (and his mom). Henry was adopted last year from Reece's Rainbow. His mom and I are facebook friends and we've been following each other's blogs. I met up with him and his mom at Cracker Barrel for lunch.
It was so nice to chat with someone who understands things like:
*Just waiting for the final homestudy approval from DCFS....
*My I-800A is ready and waiting...
*My Dossier is almost done....
*I have no idea where I'm going to get the rest of the money I need....
*I've done a Give Away and now I'm doing a Puzzle Fundraiser....
And someone who can answer questions like:
*Why not adopt domestically?
*Why a child with special needs?
*How can you afford this?
*How can you be so in love with someone you've never met?
There are some other RR moms in the area. Sadly, they couldn't make it today but I look forward to getting together with the whole group---and introducing them to Sara!
Glad you're connecting with other Moms!

ReplyDeleteAnd Mom, you raised an awesome woman! Nice job!

What a sweetie! It sounds like we're about at the same place in the process you are...although Canada is a slightly different process. we're done with our home study and Dossier next week. I'll be glad to be onto the next phase!
