Here we go!

Well, we successfully finished our adoption training classes. Ethan and Jesse are quite happy that we've finally learned how to be parents! Actually, the training was pretty specific to adoption, and we did manage to learn a few things along the way. Today we received our Parent Workbook from Living Hope, which gives us instructions on compiling our dossier. Wow. We'll be busy. There's a lot to do, and a lot of time and money required. (For anyone trying to get rid of excess in either of these areas, we'd be happy to help you out!) =) They say it takes 4-5 months to compile all this stuff, and then send it off to China. After that the timeframe is much less specific. So we really don't know how long it will take before we actually have our child. I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunity to learn patience along the way!
