PIP Class

(The following post was written in a notebook but not actually posted on the blog until we received our referral because we didn’t tell our family that we were in process. We waited until we had the referral for our son before we published on the blog because we wanted to do this “covertly” and have it be a surprise to as many people as possible.)

Today was the first of two days of the required 10 hours of education that we need to do in order to adopt from a Hague country. Holt calls it “Parents in Process” (PIP). There are 7 couples! Wow! Large/full class! Two of us are “veteran adopters.” The other five couples all have at least one child but are adopting for the first time. Two of the couples are planning to adopt from Korea and the other five of us are going to China.
