Okay, so for everyone who doesn't know (which is probably most of you) FSA is Families Supporting Adoption and it is a very exclusive club!!! Just kidding. It is the group of people that you immediately get to be involved with once you start the whole process of adoption through LDS Family Services - and it is actually a really neat thing. When we first started attending some of the meetings that were required they mentioned being involved and making sure that we attended some functions they were trying to put together and we were like "yeah sure, whatever"... But we have actually had a chance to get to know some of the other couples and have been involved with the planning of our previous event, the National Adoption Month (November by the way) Pancake Breakfast, and we are currently planning an 80's style Valentine's dinner/dance. It has been a good thing for us and we are glad to be on the planning committee and to be getting to know people who are in our same situation.
We look forward to some of the events that we are going to be able to be a part with planning and participating in as well. We were talking about Temple trips once a month, with a bigger one quarterly to include dinners, a BBQ done family reunion style in May with games, and fun stuff like that, and even doing FHE at people's homes once a month too. It is great to finally feel a part of something and feel like we FIT IN somewhere. It has been a long time since that has been the case for us.
