The Sedberry's: A Small Dose of Reality
http://thesedberrys.blogspot.com/2009/08/small-dose-of-reality.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. A Small Dose of Reality. Last Thursday was the most exciting day of this journey for me. I was sitting at work when out of nowhere my phone rang. It was our social worker. I immediately knew this had to be the news we’d been waiting for. We’ve been through all of the classes, been licensed for weeks, and all we’re waiting for now is “the call”. This had to be it! Of course I’m interested! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Just a little blog to chronicle our daily happenings.

Basically the two departments want to ensure that we are healthy enough to physically take care of a child. On my way to the doctor I received a text message from Jen, telling me that they have to draw blood to check our cholesterol levels. Two needles. Jeepers. Have you ever heard the phrase, “Liar, liar, pants on fire”? 8221; I barely felt the needle. O...

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. On Thursday, March 26th, Jen and I went to Cerritos College to attend the Fost-Adopt orientation. We arrived about forty minutes early, so we had lunch in the cafeteria.

http://thesedberrys.blogspot.com/2011/05/reason-it-has-been-so-long-since-weve.html
Wednesday, May 4, 2011. The reason it has been so long since we've written Pt. 1. It has been a monumental adjustment period, and now were a going though all of the ups downs, joys and trials of parenthood. I feel that before I talk about the present, I need to back up tremendously and talk about the process. The seemingly obvious questions started to flood our brains. "How delayed is delayed? Is this someone who will be able to forge out on his own in adulthood? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
