My very dear friend and fellow WAHM diaper maker Shannan of FBC has a broken bone because of a vaccume sales representative.
Her 9 month old preemie son that very nearly did not live & wears a heart monitor has a broken arm as well. All this because the vaccume demonstrator left a wet mess in her bathroom & did not bother to clean up or tell her he screwed up!!!

EDIT : Please keep Shannan & family in thoughts / prayers. I have removed the rest of the info & will pass on the suggestions to Shannan. Thank you to everyone that offered support!!

I am!   How old are your kiddos?  I'm forever trying to find folks for my daughter to have play dates with (she's homeschooled)

Bubblingbrook.... HURRAY!!!!  I'm SO happy for you guys!  I know it's been a rough road for you both and I hope your adoption goes seamlessly!! 

Has anyone here ever fostered?   I'm seriously considering it.   The only apprehension I have is I tend to get very attached and I'm afraid it will destroy me emotionally.

Do I have to RSVP or anything?

We tried to foster adopt, but nothing ever came of it.
Oddly enough, we had called OCS to see if our finger prints were still on file, ( expired ) and they actually tried to get both of us to turn the baby over to them so they could be in charge of the adoption. Crazyness. We turned them down, and have no intention of even letting them know who we the family is.
