Some friends threw a goodbye/surprise baby shower for our friends who are moving.
We sure are going to miss this wonderful family. I definitely have a love/hate relationship living in a ward that is half made up of med students….
This awesome couple I get to call my friends were blessed to adopt this handsome little man. So we had a party!
Where we ALL loved on that kid and only fought slightly over who’s turn it was to hold him next.
His Mama Sally was SO sick. We are super happy that she came and brought him so we could love on them both!
I love how in all the pictures I took you can see how happy Sally is even though she was so sicky sick. These being only a few of the pictures taken. 😉
Isn’t he perfect?! You may swoon.
I don’t know what I would do without my adoption group. They seriously give me so much strength. I am one lucky gal to have such awesome friends!
It’s our new mantra. Helps me power through the hand cramps. I honestly find it all excessive. Why can’t we just make copies of our private home study and paperwork? And back round checks? (We’ve been told we might with some forms, so that would be nice.) BUT we know it will be worth it so we power through. And are EXCITED!
I decided to put my crazy pants on and fill out our stack of foster paper work, some new forms that needed signing from our agency, AND Kaylee kindergarten intake packet (not shown) in the same evening.
I signed my name and dated it over 40 times! Never mind filling in the info they needed. Sheesh!
Me: Sign here. And here, And here, and……
Jon: Geeze.
Me: Dude. Don’t even complain. (To be fair he was writing code for the van fund job so…)
Jon and I were surprised that the foster intake had a whole form on race, gender, and ethnicity. To each their own and whatnot and yea for people fostering children, but really? Baffled. Well not so much with gender I guess….
Our only thing was age. We would prefer the children we foster be the same age or younger than the children. We don’t think it would be comfortable or appropriate for a teenager to share a room with a toddler/young child. SO as the children grow so will our age range.
However we are signed up for sibling groups so we will see as situations are presented.
Did I mention we are EXCITED?!
I expect a call to set a meeting with the foster agency sometime towards the end of next week! Where we will go and get MORE paperwork to fill out. Hahaha!
Seriously though we are SO EXCITED! 🙂
