Mother's Day

As I sit here wondering what I am going to get my mother for mother's day, it is hard not to think that this is yet another year that I don't get to be a "mother". I know I will be one day, but this is just one of the milestones in a year where it is just so hard to not get a little down. Birthdays, Mother's day, Father's day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and any other family gatherings are so hard to be a part of.

I know it's been awhile since I wrote. Mike and I took a short vacation hoping that this would be one of the last ones we get to take for a while. I am hoping we have a little bundle of joy that will be keeping us homebound for a while. Last weeks Foster Parent class was a little hard to get thru. They were still explain the role of the foster parent and case worker in the foster care system. That doesn't apply to us at all, so it was hard to remain attentive. This weeks class is about attachment. I think this will be a good class that I am looking forward too. Also the next week is dealing with foster care/adoption greif. I am also looking forward to this one. I really think that these are two things every adoptive/foster parent deals with. I can't wait to hear all about and learn all I can.

The homework has been pretty simple so far. But we still have to get physicals, fingerprints, background checks, copies of our marriage license, two dogs their updated vaccinations, dear birthparent letter, and a picture profile. Wow sounds like a lot to get done. We need to get our finger prints done. They say that can take the longest. I know we will get it in somehow.

Please pray for the ease of getting things accomplished and a quick match once we are activated.
