Hubby and I haven't even started the training and we are already finding out how important communication is to this whole process. Turns out he was feeling overwhelmed by all the research I was doing and how excited I as. In turn, he didn't feel comfortable telling me of some of his worries because I was so excited. He seemed to enjoy my information so I kept telling him which made him more worried and stressed.
Last night it finally all came out and we worked through it. So my advice to everyone is talk talk talk. Not just one person to talk (like I was) but open communication. If you have a concern than talk through it. And if your spouse has a concern don't assume they are bailing on the whole thing. Sometimes things come up and they just need to get talked through.
On another note, Ashley has been excited through this whole process hoping we will get a foster daughter about her age. She really wanted to have a roommate. Well, when I finally broke the news that she wouldn't be able to share a room she was super disappointed. I think eventually it will be OK. And who knows, we may never get a girl her age so it won't matter.
Until next time!
