Adoption Seminar

Jeremy and I attended an all day adoption seminar at choices yesterday to satisfy a fairly new provincial requirement. It was nice to connect with some other adoptive families. Most families were at the beginning of their process. It was amazing to me how many other families are now adopting from Ethiopia. When we went to Choices originally to inquire about adopting in Africa, they had never done it before. Yesterday, over half the families in attendance were adopting from Ethiopia. This is good news for us, as our daughter will have other adoptees to connect with locally who are also from Ethiopia. While we did not get to spend a much needed day renovating, it was good to have a refresher on much of the earlier reading and education we had done... now back to renovating!
