We got our first placement call yesterday!! We haven't really told anyone (a couple of our foster mommy friends and some co-workers who heard me get the call. :)) SO, if you're a friend on facebook, PLEASE do not post anything until I do! We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, we just aren't ready for all the questions. Especially since it isn't a "for sure" thing. He's a little older than we were requesting, but after hearing all about him, I'm hoping his age and the fact that he would be taking the "oldest" spot from Trey won't matter at all. He's 12 and loves basketball. He WANTS to be a part of a family. We're still waiting to hear from our agency, should be another couple days, but that's okay, because we don't even have a caseworker at this point! Best case scenario (in our eyes) would be that he is placed with us this Friday and we are able to spend a couple days with him before Trey and Alyssa come home from their other parents'. In case you didn't already know, I will never be able to post pics or details of any foster child's case, but we're excited to share the experience with anyone who reads this blog, and hopefully change your mind about foster care! Prayers needed, my patience ran out while waiting on the license!! :)

WOOHOOO!!!!

Sorry if you got a little excited reading that and thought maybe we had our first placement. :) BUT I finally got our license today via email!!! I was so excited, but with no access to facebook, a sleeping hubby, and kids away w/their other parents (except for Miss Campbell!! She was at the sitter's, probably napping), I had no one to share my excitement. :( However, I did print out a copy of our license and take it to a few friends at work so SOMEONE could get excited with me. We are very happy and a little nervous. I'm a planner and this is not exactly the type of thing you plan for. We have friends who had an emergency placement late in the evening recently. They didn't even know why they were getting their sweeties or for how long. SO, pray for us!! We might need a little extra patience.....with CPS, the process, our foster child, our bio kids, etc.......we'll take what we can get! I know God has it under control. Very excited to get to know one or more very interesting little men. I'd be okay with one, but whatever God has in store for us............
