The Zone...or lack thereof...

Once again I am completely out of my comfort zone and doing things I'd never imagined. Matt and I have been asked to be the representatives/contact couple for FSA (Families Supporting Adoption) for the Western Slope of Colorado. They've assured us that our lack of experience and budding knowledge of the adoptive experience will not be a problem; that we'll learn as we go and have a great support system from the Front Range.

Basically what it entails is creating opportunities for adoptive couples/families in this area to rally together for support, encouragement, experience, and ideas as we are all searching for that special birthmom and the precious gift she is carrying.

Our first task has been putting together a 5th Sunday presentation in our ward for our LDSFS representative to speak about adoption. It's a great opportunity for us as a family to alert people to our situation and get our name and profile out in the community as much as possible. We're still hoping to get our letter of approval any day now (our agent, bless him, has been swamped with cases as of late, and is a little behind).

It's interesting the impressions that come to mind as I've gotten involved in so many things, especially this. I'm not sure where this will lead us or what will follow, but this is where we are for now. So this is what we're focused on and what we'll do our best at. We've been asked for reasons unknown to us, but again we feel it is for a purpose.
