This is a follow up from my last posting after Damian had his DVR appointment. They are able to help him find employment and will give him a bus pass voucher every month to assist him in doing so. They also are going to set him up with pre vocational training and a job mentoring program which will be huge for him as he gets ready to take these steps. He will be working with them in the following weeks to get that all set up. I am so amazed at how quickly this is all falling into place and the love that Heavenly Father shows us in this journey. It's all happening fast so we have to just hang on but at the same time it's not chaos it's all under control Damian is being helped and helped quickly which is what he needs. Bi-polar like so many things is worse the longer it goes unchecked but now we are getting to where we need to be. Our goals are to have enough income to take care of our needs and buy a car and along with that get into a better living situation so we can foster adopt children. We still have steps we have to take to get there but I can see where we are being led and moved in that direction and that excites me so much. We feel like we are getting so much closer to our goals and ultimately to making our dream of having a baby or toddler of our own a reality and that is a good feeling. It's been hard to be patient as Heavenly Father has been lining all this up for us but now things are rolling and before we know it we will be able to be parents. We have needed this time to learn though and I am glad to say that our nieces were a huge part of that process we have been hands on in their lives and we know how to feed, hold, and change babies but in addition to that we know how to give them the love and patience they will need. We have learned to slow down and take the time to be with them and listen to what is going on and to really pay attention to them and to get on the floor and play with them. That has been important especially for me I tend to get impatient and having little three year old Lexus around has taught me to slow down and how to really listen to her and be there for her. Sometimes it is hard to believe that we are actually this close but we still have to wait patiently because we aren't there yet. We still have to get some steady income and a better place before we can even begin the foster adopting process but I have waited this long I can wait some more.
