Ok, this post is a little late but better late than never. We had our pre-travel seminar for our trip to China last Saturday (June 3). It was quite informative and a little overwhelming at times. We learned quite a bit. Being there made this whole journey real for us again. We were in a bit of a lull with the timelines getting longer and longer. Now it's so real again and we just want to go NOW! Unfortunately we still have a long wait ahead of us . . . but we'll try not to think about that.
It's funny because so many people (especially at this seminar) said to us "this is all old hat for you guys since you have your own kids already." Well, adopting and having your own biological children is so different. For one thing, I've never done the bottle thing before. My kids went right from breastfeeding to the sippy cup at 6 months or so. Our kids also are, and always have been, really good sleepers. We may be in for a huge shock when it comes to sleep issues. Yikes! And of course there are so many other things, such as attachment issues, that we've never had to deal with. There are so many unknowns but we're so very excited and our referral can't come soon enough!
Anyway, after the seminar, our travel group (#244) went out for dinner to Le Bifteque in Etobicoke. It was really nice. It's always good to see eachother because it pumps us up and keeps us going through this long waiting period. Here are some pictures of our group at dinner.

Getting together with others from your travel group must be so great for you guys!! You'll all have great relationships before you even go!
I second the idea on adopting is quite different than having your children biologically. This process is all new to me! I may know how to change her diaper but the rest should all be brand spanking new to me!!
