So we are planning on adopting. We don't know when, we don't know where from, and we don't know how on earth we will be able to afford it. We just know that the Lord has led us to this place and we are trusting that He will lead us forward. I posted a couple months ago about the circumstances that lead to this place (this post) and since then there has been little to report. We have told both sets of parents that we are wanting to adopt but that's about it. We have contacted an agency we want to work with and are just waiting for a weekend when we can go take their international adoption course.
That's been the most frusterating part really. They only offer this course in Edmonton or Calgary (except, of course, last year when they came to Grande Prairie and we didn't have the $250 to attend, nor were we planning on adopting this early then) and only once a month. Every time they have offered this course we have been busy so far. Actually in June when we originally looked into it, the earliest we could go would have been November really. Now that weekend is booked with swimming lessons, so it's looking like maybe February of next year?
Anyway, so while all of this is happening I have been informing myself and researching adoptions. An online forum I frequent has an adoption board and that has been hugely helpful in giving ideas. I also read blogs that I find and today I took a look at this one, which has some great ideas on fundraising for adoptions! So I will definately be keeping that in mind as we move forward!
