Background paperwork: Check

Yes, she came yesterday and picked up our paperwork for the background check. It takes 3-4 days to come back. But it doesn't matter because the next step is the classes, which start August 5th. I really wanted our homestudy to start (so we can get that over with) but they will do that in August. Soooo, we wait again- which I guess can be seen as a short break before our lives will change. I also was thinking, how nice it would be if the trainer would come to OUR house and give us the classes at home! If she did that, they maybe there would be more foster parents licensed sooner...Wishful thinking.
I can't believe how excited I am about the prospect of having a little baby around! I so need to get a grip, but I can't!! Then I start thinking about all the baby stuff, and the bottles are what is crazy to me. I did very few bottles (all my babies were nursed), so the washing and sterilizing and mixing is going to be crazy!! My agency lady said they just placed a 3 day old infant, and she thought about us. I'm happy she is thinking about us!
In the meantime, we will figure out what to do with our guest room because now it's going to be the baby room.
Another thing we are thinking about are the spaces we have available for children. We are thinking we can accommodate two children max. So one spot can be for foster only (under 5) and that spot may rotate children as needed. Then the other spot could be for a child who we want to adopt? We can try to plan it that way but, from what I understand, I doubt it will go as planned. The permanent child may end up not being permanent and the foster only child may become adoptable!!
