Andrew and I are getting ready for our home study. It is next Tuesday and we are so excited to get that done because that is the last thing that needs to happen before we can get our license. It feels like we have been talking about doing foster care forever now, at least a couple of years. Once we started going through the process it seemed to go pretty fast. We started taking our classes in December and we were able to graduate in only 3 weeks. It was really great that Andrew was able to go to all of the classes with me. It was really nice to be able to talk about what we had learned to that we would both be on the same page.

Some of the classes were really hard to sit through. It is sad to think about what these kids have to go through, but we were able to learn what we can do to at least help them through it. The most important thing that I learned in the class is to just remember why we wanted to do this in the first place. We wanted to help kids. It can't be about us.
