that pesky education meeting on 11/13

In all the excitement over getting on the "list" I forgot to talk about the parent education meeting that we went to. The guest speaker was a doctor who likes helping families with adopted children. He is in Liberty, so not too too far away from us. He talked about suggested immunizations and what things to bring with you for your baby and yourself while traveling in your foreign country. He was down to earth and he wasn't there to advertise his business. He was pretty funny too.
We talked with a couple who were leaving for Vietnam to pick up their little girl on the 20th. I've been following their blog during their travels. Also another family is going to leaving to pick up their son on December 2nd. Everyone else at the meeting was farther along than us, which is slightly discouraging, but it is still exciting to see families getting closer to being parents to their little ones across the world.
There isn't an education meeting for December, just a Christmas party this Sunday, and then starting next year they are going to be down south. I am not sure we will go as often as it is more of a drive and with Shawn we have to get dinner in before we leave, but we'll try to keep attending regularly.
