Yesterday we had our seminar at our agency. We walked in and sat down, sick as a dog and coughing my brains out. I sat down and looked at the guy sitting with his wife and thought "i think i've seen him before" then the wife looks at me, i look at her and she said my name. It was my cousin (or what we always called cousin - her grandmother is my mothers cousin). We saw them twice a year my whole life (maybe more if there was a family funeral or wedding)
What a small world that 10 couples sitting there and two would be related and not know the other was even at the agency much less coming to the seminar?
The day went by quickly, 9-4,because it was all interesting stuff - she covered about everything you wanted to know and more. Then at the end of the day there was a panel discussion. There was an adopted mom/dad and thier 2nd adopted baby, there was a birthmom who relingquished 17 years ago, and there were two bithmom/adopted moms. It was so interesting to hear their stories. I sat and listened to one and i thoujght i had heard the story before. It was a girl from my forum group-and i had follwed the whole story last year. It was so cool to put faces to the story. Her birthmom is beautiful and smart and mature and has my hair - i kept thinking "i want her for a birthmom". I told them that after and we laughed about it. I just pray that God provides someone like that for us. We had a lot of questions answered and i think it helped T a lot to ease his minds about a lot of fears.
It was a good day.
