The Kids

Last April Aleks and I decided to go through MAPP classes and prepare to adopt a child out of foster care. The class was 14 weeks long, during that time we went from thinking that we wanted a child 0-3 yrs old to a sibling set no older than 7. Since then we've talked to a lot of people and ultimately got matched with a sibling set, Precious and Rashard. Precious just turned 10 and Rashard is about to turn 5. We met last weekend for the first time and it was awesome, the kids were really comfortable with us. There was a reading festival downtown and the caseworker thought that an open environment would be best to not freak Precious out. It's tough to be 10 and know that you are meeting people that might want to adopt you. Anyway, we had a great time and can't wait to get them home for good.
