A meeting to remember

I haven't mentioned it before, but we did our homestudy with Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska. I know a lot of blogs out there don't disclose things like the names of the agency or homestudy.... shoot, some people don't even use their real names. Anyway, I don't see any harm in saying who did our homestudy. After all, they did a great job and we have nothing but GOOD things to say about them.

Anyway, the reason that I mention them is that we got a flyer in the mail a few weeks ago that advertised an "International Adoption group" meeting. (Hosted by Lutheran Family). We weren't sure what it was all about... Is it a "support" group? Is it a networking thing? Is it a class that will educate us?

Obviously, we were intrigued by this - so tonight we arranged to have someone watch the kids and we went to the meeting. We showed to the church where the meeting was held and quickly realized that no one was there.

So that's it. Nobody showed, so we went home.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry if I disappointed any of you. I kinda drug you down this suspenseful path only to drop you on your face. What can I say? I wouldn't make a very good suspense author.

That's disappointing. I hope you guys at least went out to dinner since you had a babysitter lined up!

That's really strange! Don't let those little bumps get you down. Always remember we are in Nebraska...probably not the foreign adoption capital of the world. Jenni and talked at dinner tonight about the whole process and it's attention to detail. We are so proud of your devotion to our new babies, as well as the requirements of the process. Always remember this is part of God's plan. Love you all, Grammy
