I am so amazed though not surprised and incredibly humbled and grateful right now. We have been blessed with such a great circle of friends here. I sent out an email a few days ago explaining that Ryan and I are going to be starting classes next month to obtain our Foster Parent license so as to begin the Foster-to-adopt journey. It is 30hrs of classes, spread over 3 nights & 2 full saturdays. Since we don’t have any family in town to pawn the kids off on, the idea of arranging childcare was more than a little daunting. However, within 1 day all 5 ‘opportunities’ to babysit were filled by amazing friends! We still have to figure out when & where we’ll do the First Aid/CPR/blood borne pathogen training class, so the 2 folks who have expressed interest in helping out that haven’t been assigned a day to cover for us, might still have an opportunity. 
So thanks all of you who have so quickly and eagerly rallied. We are extremely grateful. …& I’m sure we’ll need you around for a lot more than just babysitting!
I am so excited for you!!!!
Jealous. Of those wonderful friends around to babysit for you, of you getting to go ahead and do the classes (Jamin and I have been talking about adopting more and more lately. Sucks we can’t get one of those Haitian babies
Our turn will come! Have fun. Amy says the classes are for sure a wake up call, so – enjoy that 
I’m super excited for you guys! We are getting really discouraged about that process here. Idaho doesn’t have a foster-to-adopt program so even if you want to adopt a child from the foster system here it will still cost you close to $20 thousand!!!! We took those classes a few months before we moved and they are awesome!! They give a ton of good information and preparation. Have fun and keep us updated!
Hey Jen, that’s great! God Bless on your journey!
