I called our instructor for the classes today and left a message to confirm that we will be there next Monday. She called me back and left me a message - something about her supervisor wanting to change the "age" thing.
On the scale of panic, this was a 2. But it was more than 1 and that sucks. I jumped to a conclusion that we were too old to be adoptive parents. Of course, that's not true, but for fifteen minutes there, I thought it might be. Turns out, there are so many families requesting small children, that they are only accepting applicants for age seven and under. We had said five and under.
Doesn't mean we won't get a two year old - but now me might get a seven year old. That's fine. Again - I just want to be a parent. The reason for the age range we chose is because of school and habits. We're just giving ourselves the best chance to instill our morals and values before the child is old enough to develop some of his peers.
But....my panic is back down to a zero. We're all set. Let's get on with it!
