I just signed up for the 2013 Created for Care retreat in Atlanta. I went last year and it was such a wonderful experience. Imagine if your passion was cooking and someone told you to go to a beautiful resort outside Atlanta and spend 3 days with hundreds of other people who shared your passion for cooking. Then all the experts in the cooking world did cooking demonstrations all days and shared their secrets and you left feeling like you just may be able to cook a decent meal after all!
Well that's how I feel about this retreat. I went last year and could not believe all the women that shared my heart for adoption and were seriously killing it with their parenting skills! I felt like a student soaking up all the knowledge and when I left I felt like I could maybe just maybe do this whole thing too!
I REALLY hope I have a sweet little referral picture to show off to everyone once I am there. Last year we were still waiting to get on the wait list and I remember women walking around with tons of pictures of their little ones in Africa, or Asia, all over, and were so proud and so excited to finally get them home! That felt like such a distant reality for me at that point! By the retreat we will have been waiting about 12 months so I think it is a real possibility that we will finally know what Jane's sweet little face looks like. However, it is also a very real possibility that we won't know yet either and that's ok too....apparently these things can't be rushed hehe!
Very excited to see what is in store this year and see where we are as a family by January 25!
