We’ve been away from this blog for about a month now, so I’m
sure you’re ready to hear about all the progress we’ve made since early August.
Are you ready to hear about all you’ve missed? Well here it is….not much. Like we’ve been for a few months now, we’re
still dealing with the waiting. While we wait though, we’re consistently trying
to find ways to educate and prepare us for the rest of our adoption process.
Like we’ve done
since we started considering adoption, we’re still reading every kind of
adoption material we can get our hands on, listening to adoption podcasts, and
watching things on TV about adoption. Recently though, we heard about a
national adoption conference that will be in Louisville this year, which is
great for us. We’re looking forward to
spending the weekend at this event in October, so hopefully we’ll be able to
share a lot of the material from that weekend with you when we do our next blog
update.
As we told you
about in our last entry, we’re also preparing for our adoption agency’s annual
5k fundraiser. At the time of our last blog entry this seemed so far off, but
now that we’re a week and a half away, I’m starting to get a little concerned.
I mean, surely I’ll make it, right? I’ve seen people in worse shape than me who
say they’ve been to a 5k, so I like my chances. Plus it’s walking and I could
probably walk all day, I suppose. It did help though when Ashley explained to
me that “5k” didn’t mean 5,000 miles.
As far as our
actual adoption goes though, we’re still stuck in what seems like an endless
amount of waiting. Granted, it’s only been a few months since we’ve finished
our home study, and we’re aware that sometimes people have to wait much longer,
but the waiting hasn’t gotten any easier. Of course, we hope that by the time
we update this blog next month, we’re full of information about all the
progress we’ve made to get closer to our child. However, until then, we
continue to appreciate all of the support and prayers that you’ve given us.
Thanks again.
