We received our notice from DCFS for the PRIDE training, which is 27 hours of mandatory classes for those intent on adopting. We begin April 24. If the children you are adopting are related to you, the training is only 6 hours. So since we have not begun yet, for any one who would like to just give me their kids to save me 21 hours now is your chance. Once I've completed the 27 you are SOL.
We aren't sure yet what exactly the classes will entail, but hope they will go deeper than saying don't burn or starve the kids like our last encounter. it will be a total of 4 1/2 saturdays, each day consisting of two 3-hour classes with a one hour lunch break in between. After then we will have our additional one-on-one meetings with the social worker and then I think wrap up the home study. I think......!
In the mean time we continue to prepare the house, find a new car, etc!
