I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

“Real People. Real Lives. Kansas DD Petition”

I really think this is an important cause, and I’d like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It’s free and takes less than a minute of your time.

Guardianship Interview

Dones — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 20:00:00 +0000

I had an interview today with the state guardianship agency. Looks like things are going to move forward at the speak of the courts, so either by March 2007 (or March 2027) there will be a guardianship hearing and then I’ll be officially responsible. Excited and anxious, I’m looking forward to stepping into the new role.

Guardianship Application

Finally turned in my application to be appointed legal guardian for a man I used to work with. I’m now looking forward to background checks, interviews, training sessions, and maybe even court hearings. Yay.

I just consider it practice for adoption, in a weird way.

Guardianship?

I just got an email from the place I where used to work with adults with developmental disabilities. It seems that a man I had a really nice friendship with may be in need of a guardian, and they thought of me.

This would be incredibly cool, because he and I get along very well, and he’s one of my all-time favorite people; but it’ll be hard work and a serious commitment I need to carefully consider before moving forward. As far as I know the family has been heavily involved in this guy’s life, and so I wonder what’s been happening that he needs a guardian now all of a sudden?

Please pray for me, my wife, the case manager, as well as this man and his family: that God’s wisdom would prevail in all our lives, and that His good and perfect will be done.
