On Sunday, we went to our first meeting with an adoption support group. I was quite nervous since I had to go on my own and Kellin met me there later on. There were 4 other couples there. One adopted from China a year and a half ago and the rest were in the process of adopting through Ethiopia. Among them, we are the furthest along in our adoption process, so they had a lot of questions that I really didn't know the answers to. There was going to be another couple there who had adopted from Ethiopia. I was anticipating asking them a lot of questions, but I did get some ideas and information from the couple that had already adopted, even though the country requirements and such are different. She had recorded everything as it happened so she could tell us when they had completed different parts of the process. I had always planned on doing this but didn't. I will have to get on this before I forget.
I am really excited about getting to know other people who are in the process and know what we are going through. And of course having friends for our children who will know what they are going through as an adoptee in a multiracial family.
