After thinking about topics that are important to write about. I decided that I should send for an Adoption Information Packet. It has been 12 years since we adopted our first child.
So much could have changed in that amount of time.

I received the information in the mail yesterday and I pulled my old packet from my files. I was surprised that not much had changed. Sure there was a new look to the packet. They also sponsor one child in the packet and tell about him in depth to create interest in adopting him. Which is a new change that I like.

But everything is pretty much the same. The Adoption study and Foster home study is a little different. But your adoption worker still can help you get through all the paper work you need by taking some of the information from your foster home study and then just answering any questions that were not covered in that file.

It is very important to have a good adoption worker.
To help you choose the right child and to help the right child find their way into the best suitable home for their own needs.

When people hear "Special Needs Kids" they think wheel chair and it does not mean that handicapped at all.

When they see Emotionally Impaired. Most people run too. Myself I like to meet the child and hear the back ground. I do not see how anyone could go through some of the events these children have and not be emotionally impaired.

Some of us would crawl under our covers and give up before the day began. Had we faced the obstacles that some of these little ones have lived through.

If you are thinking about adoption send off for the Adoption Packet and read over it. You are not committing to adopt a child. You are just satisfying the curiosity level of your adoption dream.

Who knows you might even find yourself filling it out?
