My name is E. I live in a city in Northern BC, with my husband, Cal. We have been married 9 years. Cal and I were both raised here, and the majority of our family still lives here too.
We dealt with infertility, but with medical intervention we were able to have and our son who was born in May of 2011. We had difficulty having another child, and decided to instead adopt from the MCFD. I know several people who have adopted, or are adopted, and I’ve always considered adoption as an option to grow my family.
We would love for our son to have siblings, and we have lots of love to give, so we are looking to adopt a sibling group of up to four children. We don’t have a preference of gender, and have not decided on an “oldest” age yet.
I really love reading; one of my all-time favourite books is “Little Men” the sequel to “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott, and the last book I read was “Instant Mom” by Nia Vardalos. I'm a researcher, so I have already accumulated a fairly extensive "library" on adoption.
The next day we got this email:
Hi E,
Welcome to the AEP-Online. I am the manager of the education
department and one of your technical supports. Your cohort was made live in
error and I noticed you have posted your welcome. That is ok. However, I have
now closed the course and it will be reopened on September 5th. Great to have
you on board!
Have a wonderful weekend.
We weren't the only ones gunghoe to start, as there were 5 posts all together before the course was closed again.
The adoption support group at a local church is starting up again this month. Meetings are supposed to be the third Monday each month. Something else they're planning is a letter to the local MP, and the Minister of Children and Family Development. I've been asked to draft a paragraph on the stumbling blocks and delays that we've hit so far in our adoption journey. I'm still trying to figure out how to do it without discussing any specific people. I'm sure when I get it done I'll post here :)
