In December we attended an informational meeting for adopting through foster care that is required to attend before you start the process. We didn't know it, but we would leave that meeting with the paperwork we would need to fill out and mail in to officially start the process.
So we took our time, got through the holidays, started Grad school, and finally got it filled out.
So then we sort of looked at each other and thought, "Well, its filled out, so I guess now we mail it in..."
Sticking an envelope in the mail never felt so, exciting, nerve-racking, or "Oh my goodness, now its out of our hands and into theirs" before.
So the little envelope that will change our lives is off to Madison, where they will look it over and decide if we are a good fit for the program, if they deem that we are it will make a trip back to Eau Claire to the local office here where they will look it over and again decide if we are a good fit for the program, and if they also deem we are we'll get a call! Whew! This process (I've heard) can take anywhere between 1-3 months, so begins the waiting!
