I Can See the Light (just a flicker) at the end of the tunnel
Our central registry info should be sent to our agency soon after the first of the year. It's confirmed the other state where we lived has our info and is processing it. I am so glad. At least it's there. Isn't it strange how we signed that paperwork release before Thanksgiving and it was just received on December 11??? Hmmmm, someone drug their feet to the mailbox...I'm just sayin'. An observation, that's all. Hopefully this is all in perfect timing of the child we are to get. I keep thinking how crazy I must have been to think we were going to be done with all of this in October! That is so laughable now. Oh well, good things come to those who wait--right?? I talked to my agency lady today and reconfirmed that we would accept drug addicted infants, and that older children were not going to work in the dynamics of our home. 5 and under will be good. We are still open to every situation that they want to offer us, every child is unique and we understand that. On another note, we are soooo excited for Christmas!!!!!

Good job, you are getting closer! Remember, at times they tried to get us to take kids (teens) that would not have fit into the dynamics of our family and we didn't. Just stick to what you and your hubby decide and you will be fine.
A light at the end of the tunnel. Woo Hoo!
We are getting closer as well. Our family, as I am sure that yours is,has long been tired of the wait. We have jumped through all that has come our way. We will continue to do just that, until the right child comes our way.
I hope that you remain an adocate for yourself, your hubby, and the boys. Don't comprimise what is best for you/them. Stick to your guns, and work with your dynamics!
p.s. You will have to give me that same advice in the future, I'm sure!
Up until recently... (our first foster child getting ready to go home)...the hardest part of foster care has been jumping through all the hoops. Good Luck and I am sure it will all work out!
I can relate. My DH and I are in the process of becoming foster/adoptive parents in our state and it seems like it's SOOO slow.
We should be certified in late Jan, so we are very excited.
I'm looking forward to reading about your journey! Thanks for sharing.
