jl,
Thanks for your reply and support. I'm encouraged that people have looked at my post, but very disappointed that we haven't had anyone willing to share their experiences with us. Maybe I have this posted in the wrong place. I know that there is a place just for older child adoption, but was looking for someone with a MI point of view.
So when do you expect your home study to be complete? Do you have a specific child waiting for you, or are you going to be waiting like us? What have you done so far to prepare...(if you're willing to share). Are you going to become licensed to do foster care too? Maybe the two of us can just be "email buddies" since we seem to be going on similar paths? We have also already taken our PATH training with MARE.
Let me know if you are interested in keeping in touch. My personal email is
anskbaum@chartermi.net.
Thanks again for your support!
