Lately Sam and I have had a lot going on. I am Senior stylist at the salon I work at, which is a very stressful and crazy environment. Sam graduated college a couple weeks ago with a 4.0 GPA. My stepfather has been in and out of the hospital in the past two months which has required me to make two emergency trips home(he's better now). Lots of stuff going on!
Sam also got orders to Korea unaccompanied next summer.
This interferes with our plans a lot. We were planning to start working to adoption next summer, so we had to put that idea aside. However, we came up with a new plan!
After looking at and considering all our options(especially the one saying we won't be here in the springs much longer) Sam and I have made a big decision to do foster care with the intent of adopting!!
Last night we met with a fostering agency and then spent the evening filling out our application. Once our application is turned in, we do a month of training, a month for the homestudy, and then DHS has to approve our licensure. After we are approved we can begin taking children in at any time! That's like two months from now! WHOA!
We are so excited to add to our family, and are so happy we have supportive friends and family out there to be behind us in this decision. By no means is it going to be easy, it is going to be a huge adjustment. We are excited though. Very very excited.
