Two Days.

In two days Dave and i are going to be driving out to West Chicago to attend an America World Adoption Seminar! We are both so excited!! We've already decided to use them as our agency, but this seminar will give us a chance to gain even more information. During the seminar they'll have a multimedia presentation which gives an overview of what God's Word says about adoption as well as the Hallmark presentation of Steven & Mary Beth Chapman's story of adoption. They will also walk us through the entire process, give us information on their programs, along with financial assistance resources and country comparison information. Not that we'll need the comparison, our hearts are already in Africa. But maybe we'll keep it on hand in case one of you get the urge. Hey, ya never know!

There will also be families there who are both in the process and who have already brought their child(ren) home. They'll be sharing their experiences and will be available to speak with after the seminar. Word has it there's usually a lot of babies and children in tow with their parents - here's hoping for some Ethiopian princes and princesses!

Thought I'd leave you with this...

That sounds AWESOME! Our first seminar (different agency) prepared us so much! Even being an avid reader, there was nothing like hearing the actual stories and experiences of other adoptive parents! Can't wait to hear about it!
