The staff at adoptions from the heart were all welcoming and understood each of our concerns and nerves. It was so nice to be in a room with others who were going through the same process, it felt so supportive and loving. They opened up with an icebreaker and we met an amazing couple that is from NY too and I am sure I will always wonder where they are in the process as we go along. We did speak with others who had the "dreaded" home study, they made it out alive so I guess that is a start but we know that is the next step and we are very worried, probably over nothing!
After a lunch break, we returned back in the classroom and there was a few minutes where it was quiet...Phil and I were holding hands the entire class but in this moment, we both squeezed each others hands and in that one moment...I felt a feeling that I was exactly in the right place in the world. It was a very odd feeling and I am sure it was God telling us that we are right on the path. It was later in the car ride home when Phil turned to me and said he had the exact feeling! Amazing!
The class finally ended and we all went on our way back home..Here are some photos of our trip!
