Last night we walked into a room full of people during a video - with all the lights on - 20 minutes late.
we were THOSE people.
between dealing with babysitter changes, traffic, and issues with directions.. we finally made it to our training class!
It was a 3 hour class about adopting transracially. This is part 1 and there is a part 2 class, but only the part 1 is required to complete our homestudy.
we had heard from another couple who had already done the class, that they had learned more from PRIDE than they did from the transracial training, and i have to agree.
we watched some videos, did some discussions, and then did some small group activities. It was pretty simple and it was good to get some insight and some tips on transracial adoption. I think that at this point we aren't planning to go to part 2 unless we were to be placed with a child of a different race than us.
Next we have our open adoption training! on Monday!
After that.. the only required training left for our homestudy is the CPR/FIRST AID - blood borne pathogens class.
Apparently, the blood borne pathogens is a 4 hour online class. Then we need to go the 8 hour first aid.
To think that we would get our training done before the paperwork! I thought that the training was going to slow us down.
but it's not.. it's this long long process of paperwork.
saw this is on pinterest! :)
fits PERFECTLY.
