PRIDE course update

WE finally got our info for the fall program that is mandatory for us to attend in order to adopt in Ontario. It is called P.R.I.D.E.Parenting Resources for Information, Development & Education. It is required for both patrick and I to complete this government mandated course in order to be fully licenced for adoption.
Due to a mix-up in the spring, we missed out on the spring training and had to wait till this coming fall to take the course.
Sooo, this course will be running EVERY wendesday for 9 weeks and then one Saturday on November 20th. ug. Well, if this is what is going to help us get our little girl then I will do it and do it well!. I was told that it will be three hours every class night and the saturday will be about 5 hours. We get homework and extensive reading and even tested! A lot more indepth than I eas expecting, i have to admit.
We had to do some juggling and fancy footwork to get it into the schedule but we managed to find a way to adjust everything so that no one has to miss out on sports or activities and thanks to my mom, it's all going to work out. Pat will have to do a couple of evenings of holiday hours but only a couple and he can split a holiday into two ro three so that he doesn't have to use up a whole shift. Sooo, we know for sure that until November 20th at least, we will be waiting, and learning and hoping that it wil all bring us closer to that special moment when we find out we have a placement and a new family member.
