I can't believe this has dragged out for a week without any news. I guess I should assume that another family was picked, or they haven't made a decision. Of course the snow and ice storm has shut everything down, and the social workers have not been able to get into work. Today is better, main roads are clear, but no doubt everything else is slowed down. So they may not be placed by Feb 1st. due to the snow storm. We may still be in the running and I just don't know it. As for today, we are on day 3 of snow days so I need more food and I really need to clean house. I am okay if we don't get these girls, I knew the unknowns when I signed up. It is what it is, but I can't help getting excited. It's who I am, I react before I think sometimes. So the next time I get a call, it will probably be the same drill: OMG, OMG, I'm sooo excited, I can't believe it, I have to shop!...you get the picture.

It's a hurry up and wait game FOR SURE! Very frustrating, I know. It will happen when it is s'posed to. When it is right....yet, it isn't very comforting to hear.
I assure you, it is all very normal. When I got my Toby, he was an "emergency removal" (still done in slow motion) from his last foster home. It still took two weeks and I barely heard anything in that time. Of course, it also ended up in us signing adoptive placement papers soon after he moved in.
Anyway, with most of our kids, it would always take a week or two or three before anyone ever followed up.
Good luck! You will be surprised, no matter what. That I can always guarantee :)
