**********************
I'm going to be meeting with Kathy Searle (Utah Adoption Exchange Director of Programs) next week to ask her questions. If you have specific questions please leave them in the comments section or feel free to email me directly.

As some of you may know....my hubby and I serve as Co-Vice chairs for Families Supporting Adoption National Board. We meet as an Executive Board this week and I am going to see what we can do to get some education out there among FSA chapters throughout the nation. So I am wondering.... If you are an FSA member would you attend a class about how to adopt waiting children if it was offered somewhere fairly close to you? Please leave me a comment and let me know. I am trying to get a feel for what people are willing to do to learn how to adopt waiting children.

We have still NEVER heard anything from the situations we have inquired about. The last one we inquired about I was really hoping to hear something but no word yet. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile we have two cute boys hanging out with us for a bit while parents and dcfs figure things out. :) They are so fun and honestly...I am so glad we said yes. These little "dooods" (as Mick...the 4 year old says) are very well behaved and just truly great children!

And lastly....THANK YOU for coming here every Monday and for adding them MM button to your blog. You are wonderful friends!!!
:) Happy Week!

I would definitly attend a class in my area about adopting waiting children, what it takes as far as the process, and advice about kids with a "past" and what kind of services may be available for them!We are planning on adopting through foster care at some point, and any information that we could get from a class would be very helpful!!
