Settling In

A lot has happened since I last blogged.  I moved into my house and have spent hours painting, unpacking and gardening.  I have finished up my first quarter of Hebrew and am just starting the second quarter.

I am still contemplating adoption or foster parenting.  I'm not sure which would be the best decision.  Likely in the short term, I am going to take the foster parenting classes and get a home-study completed.  From that point, I can then select what path to take.

There are still several hurdles on the international adoption front - several countries are in limbo as to requirements.

I don't have to make the decisions now, and I also want to look into a few other programs.  It appears that Haiti is allowing adoptions for children who were orphans prior to the earthquake and those who have been surrendered by their parents at the orphanage since the earthquake (the child has to be verified via DNA to be the surrenderer's child).
