back to waiting

i feel like were back to another waiting game. this time we're waiting for our home coordinator to contact us to do the review inspection of our home and send our info over to placement. i thought for sure she'd call this week. she didn't. BUT, i won't let it get to me! soon there will be children in our home, and even if they don't stay forever we will have made a difference in their lives! oh! and i'm waiting for something else. i won a copy of adoption nation by adam pertman over on adoptivemomma.com 's blog! i'm sure it will be good reading (as her blog is) and help pass some time in the waiting game :D have a great weekend everyone!

we're licensed!

we did it! we are officially licensed foster parents! apparently from here there is a transfer conference where they send all of our info over to the worker that will be working with us from now on, then she will contact us to set up a meeting and do a walk through of the house to make sure everything is still safe and up to par, and then our file gets sent out to "placements" meaning we could be called for a placement in our home. based on how long things have taken so far, i'm guessing this will take at least a month. but i can't even explain how excited i am! i can't wait for you all to take this next step with us! eeeek! now time to go celebrate!
