We're on information overload after today's adoption event! From 9am to 1pm we heard anything & everything about adoption, including testimonies (which were VERY emotional), introductional workshops, etc. We met up with several friends of ours from church who were either interested in adoption like us, or were simply supporting the cause. It was reassuring to see familiar faces on such a big day for us!
The workshop was very informative and gave us a very big reality check as far as what we're getting ourselves into! We knew of course this process would not be easy, but we certainly feel we've had our eyes completely opened to the obstacles that may lay ahead. We're still confident the Lord is leading us to adopt, but how clear the path will be to get there is no longer certain. We need our faith to kick in... big time. :-)
We were able to meet a representative from Lilliput & hear a lot more about their company, all good things (yay!). We were also introduced to Sierra Forever Families, an adoption agency very similar to Lilliput as far as their focus, values & procedures. We may attend an orientation meeting with them as well, just to compare & contrast so as to make an informed decision.
We have a lot to think & pray about as we prepare for our orientation with Lilliput this coming Thursday. Thank you to those of you who are continually praying for us as we start this journey! We appreciate your support SO very much!
