Hello!
I've been lurking here for the last couple weeks and would like to officially introduce myself. I was over on TD since last summer, participating a little bit in the TTGP board. I'm 27, DH is 30. We have two dogs that think they're people. Before we ever started seriously thinking about kids, we knew adoption would be part of our future. A few years ago, I started looking into international adoption and we thought we could go down that road while we TTC since the adoption process takes SO LONG as you all know. We officially started TTC last summer but really only got as far as filling out our international adoption app, but didn't submit it. However, throughout all this time foster care kept coming up everywhere. I DID NOT want to do foster care. I thought it would be so hard and I really want to adopt internationally...and I wanted to do that first. But foster care just kept coming up and I couldn't ignore it. When my husband started talking about it too, I knew we couldn't put it off anymore! So we applied about two weeks ago and will go through the classes in May. We are definitely open to adopting, and at first I really ONLY wanted to adopt but my heart is changing. We love high schoolers and have worked with them a lot and my husband is a middle school teacher in a low income school district so we would definitely be open to fostering kids of any age. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
