Just wanted to stop in and say hey :) We've been licensed now for a month as of Monday (foster only), and have been submitted for four placements, none if which have ended up with us, but at least the ball is rolling. Yesterday, I got a call for an 11 day old boy, and couldn't help but get a little excited that he might be coming to stay with us. He was sent to another home, but it did get me off my butt to wash diapers, get a sling, some bottles, and some other essentials together. I've had to keep reminding myself to be patient and trust the process, and that every day without a placement means a child isn't having to suffer, so that's a good thing. It's just hard when you've wanted to do something half your life, and now it's here and you are just waiting.....

 

I'm reading everyone's posts and keeping you all in my thoughts!
