Tonight Randy and I attended our second Waiting Families meeting with our local FCC chapter. (Okay, my second but Randy’s first!) There are FCC chapters all over the country and, from what I understand, our chapter is very active! There are lots of activities for families that have already adopted, and we’re excited to be able to be a part of this community once our waiting is done. For now, we will gather as much support and information that we can from our facilitator, Donna (she adopted her daughter 10 years ago!) and the other great people in the group.
Another cool thing about tonight was finally meeting Kelly! We “met†in an online adoption group and realized we’re from the same city! She’s just as nice in person as she is through email :) Kelly’s blog is listed in my links “Journey to Mia Jadeâ€. Check it out…and be sure to order one of the cookbooks that her family is selling to help fund their adoption….â€Some Daughters Come By Planeâ€. I just got one and there are lots of yummy recipes to try!

It was so wonderful to meet you and Randy as well! And I’m so happy that you are enjoying your cookbook! Thank you for mentioning it!

That is so awesome, I hope I can find a similar group around here somewhere.
