I think it is very important to make connections with other couples who are expeinced in what we are trying to do. I've prayed to God for years to "open doors" for us if this is what we are ment to do. Four years ago I worked as a substitute teacher at my husband's school. I met an aid who had (and still is) adopting children from foster care. Her and her wife have such a lovely family. My husband has had many of their children as students and they have all been wonderful. I told her that I wanted to adopt one day and she gave me her number and told me to call her when I was ready. I called her wife last night and we talked for over an hour. I've learned so much already and there is so much more to learn. We are meeting them in two weeks at their home. I am so happy that they are going to give us advice, guidance, and a chance to see how they are making a blended family work. :-)
In the mean time I've been introducing our daughter to the idea of adoption. We've been watch Adoption Story almost everyday. I'm sure how to explain to her why some children need new families. I want to be honest but I don't want to be judgemental either.
