We have so many adoption options come across our paths the past few month, but for one reason or another, none of them have panned out. After much discussion, we have made a decision...
We are applying to be foster parents here in Colorado. As we looked into adopting, there were many kids who we couldn't even inquire about without a home study done. Along with that, we don't currently carry insurance that could cover a child joining our family through an international adoption. International adoption is still very much on my heart & we are hoping to still pursue it sometime in the future. But for now, we will follow God's leading back to foster care & possibly adoption from foster care.
In order to be licensed as foster parents, we have 4 more classes to take this month & 2 to take in October. We also have to get our home study done & do a CPR & First Aid class. I am very much hoping that we will be licenses & ready to go by the beginning of November.
As I am looking at kids who need families, I am finding that most of the kids are either older or part of a sibling group. At this point we are not comfortable taking children older than Dylan (we would consider it, but it would have to be the right child). I am feeling very drawn to sibling groups, but we will see who we get calls about!
This update was written over several days & sittings, so it feels a little disjointed. Tonight we are headed to one of our classes. We are excited! As things go on, I will continue to give updates...hopefully a little more often & in one sitting!
Thank you so much for all of your support & love for our family! We appreciate all of it!
