Adoption Steps

We are trying to involve the girls in our adoption process as much as possible. The hardest thing for them to understand is why we can't bring our little boy home tomorrow, or the next day, or the next, especially since he is already waiting for us. I tried to create a tangible way for them to keep track of how far we've advanced in the process and how much longer we have to wait. It's not perfect, but I think it will help. Emma Lee drew a picture of her little brother and put him at the top of the steps. Our family will move up each step as we complete a major part in the adoption process.
