Officially Licensed

We got a call from our Social Worker that we are all clear and licensed by the state! (Tuesday June 25)

Not only are we licensed- but we also had our first placement call. I was already planning on meeting Roman at the bus stop to tell him the news! as a dark storm crept on the horizon I was pacing at the bus stop waiting for Roman to come home. We talked over the vague information about the case before we decided to say Yes. we were both terrified and excited.We stocked up on kid food, got some last minute things at goodwill and target, and began waiting for a phone call not so patiently.Image result for nervous gif












Today we found out that the little girl we were anticipating (for only 2 days) was placed with someone else. I think this was a good practice run for a future placement, we got all our ya ya's out and maybe next time we can have it more together- we will see. In the mean time we will send prayers and good wishes to the family that took her in.

I don't know!

We are all done with our side of things. The home study went well and wasn't much to worry about. the inspection is complete, all the references and training paper work is turned in. We are done. Our file gets passed up to the state, and we are just left here to wait it out.

What is interesting is how uncomfortable other people are with not knowing. We both knew getting into the foster process that there would be a lot of time where we didn't know any of the answers to our questions, or your questions. However, I didn't take into account the uneasy feelings we would pass on to our friends and family through their lines of questioning, and our lack of answers.

As you continue to answer peoples' questions like this, you can tell they are getting antsy and uneasy for you. I don't mind answering all the questions, but I don't have a lot of information to give, and I am ok with that at this point. For now, I'll just stick with "I don't know- but I'll let you know when I do!" :D
