Adoption

We Got a Call!

My DH and I are licensed foster parents and have been waiting for "the call" for our placement.  Well, today we got a call, not "the call".

We were asked to take two children for respite care this weekend!  I am so excited to have two little ones in our house even if it is only for a few days! 

Also, I feel like this is a good test run for us when we do get "the call".  We are licensed for two children, with a preference for one.  But recently I have really been hoping we'd be asked to take two.  This is a nice way to see what it actually entails!

My blog has a few more details if you are interested.

  • Sweet! Good luck with the little ones this weekend!!! I hope the current FP don't just throw them at you without any details! Be sure to get information on their likes/dislikes/bedtimes/normal habits and routines...that will help you and the kiddos! 

     

  • Good luck - hope it's a great weekend!

    I'm hoping the same thing!  I have a huge list of questions, so I hope they are ready!

    After multiple m/c's, a MTHFR diagnosis and the Lord calling both of our hearts in the same direction, we're adopting!

  • Thanks so much for all of the well wishes!  We had a wonderful weekend with the kids!  They were super cute and well behaved.  We ended up making it to a birthday party, neighborhood block party and a playdate in the park!  All of that fresh air definitely helped getting them to sleep and sleeping through the night!
