The other evening after we put the finishing touches on dinner, we headed to our office and sat down in front of our laptop.
We logged into the adoption web site and registered for the online course required as part of our Home Study. A female voice introduced the course and how to navigate through the slides. "Click next," and so on.
As the slides moved forward, we began learning signs of and importance of attachment with internationally adopted children. We took notes.
As part of the course we needed to go through a few adoption simulations and scenarios. While some were a little scary, others were really fun to envision ourselves being in the middle of the moment.
At sometime during the process we realized that we couldn't see our lives without a child, but more specifically, we couldn't see ourselves without an adopted child. We were attached.
