WE'VE BEEN LICENSED!!!!

Wooo Hoooo!! We got our foster license!!! One huge step taken and reached. Because we have to be foster licensed before we can adopt, this means that we are one step closer to our goal.

We've started sending in paperwork to our adoption worker also. That autobiography part is really going to be tough. Here are some of the things we need to write about: How would you describe yourself, physically and personality? Describe your parents relationship? How were you disciplined? What were you like as a child? And that's just one section on FAMILY DESCRIPTION. There are other sections such as Marriage/Relationships, Parenting Approach, Lifestyle, Contingency Plans....and on and on and on. I keep telling Tonya it's like doing therapy all over again!

But we are very excited about our license and that we're on our way. We have registered for one of the classes we need to take for adoption - that will be in June. With any luck, we'll be done with the process and begin our waiting period by August.
