First Educational Meeting 7/10

Well we went to our first educational meeting tonight. A speaker talked about some of the issues adopted children encounter in development once they come home. A lot of it was similar to things we learned with our foster care training, but the best part was that we got to meet other families that are adopting from Vietnam too. We didn't realize, but child care was provided and of the three other couples we met who are adopting from Vietnam all of them had children less than a year older than Shawn. It'd be wonderful if we are able to start and maintain friendships with other local families whose children will all be around the same age. Next time we will bring Shawn so he can play with the other potential adoptive siblings.
