God is amazing. It feels like every time I get a little discouraged He places some great adoption connection in my path. Today it was in the form of my friend Rachelle inviting me to go see a guest speaker on adoption at a local church. I went and connected with several local families (a friend from elementary school & her husband that I've been thinking about tons this week even) and heard the story of a woman who was adopted as an infant. It was a nice low key evening. I loved having Rachelle along, especially because she asked all the questions that I was thinking, but was too shy to ask. They had books and literature that they were giving away free, I took several pamphlets and a couple books. I got to talking to a lady after and we were discussing the type of adoption we were planning, I mentioned that we were looking at a large sibling group, and it turns out we've both fallen in love with the same sibling group of four. Small world. The lady and her husband are just starting their homestudy.
There were a three couples there, as well as four women that came without their husbands (me included). They're trying to make this meeting a regular thing, and I put Cal and I on the contact list. Looking forward to their next gathering, which I plan on making Cal come along to. :) I know he would have liked to have come, but had prior engagements tonight.
