Day 2 of our Course

Well day 2 came around quite quickly, it hardly seems like it was 3 weeks ago we did our first course.

This course was very positive about adoption, we watched a new DVD produced by Adoption Option Trust (which we are purchasing) and spoke to an adopted person.

His story was amazing and very informative. His main concerns for adoptive parents is that they are 100% sure they want to adopt and that they have grieved the fact that they cant have biological children and the two parties communicate. His story was sad because his adoptive parents had never grieved that they could not have biological children and he felt like the band aid trying to fix the wound. As much as this affected him he was so very positive about his experience as an adopted person and would not have changed anything. He was very inspired and I could have sat there all day listening to him.

Day 2 was no where near as mentally exhausting as Day 1 and now we are just waiting to complete Day 3 and then have our final meeting with our Social Worker at our house.

Ive been reading some interesting books on adoption and foster care (which is something I would like to do in the future) which have inspired me even more and confirmed that Mark and I are doing the right thing.
