An Official Card Carrying Club Member

Our cards and certificate arrived today stating that we are officially foster parents for the County Dept of Social Services. Of course I got all teary eyed. I read our certificate that states we are allowed 2 children between the ages of .. 12 to 18 years old. Huh? After all the questions, forms and more questions they still didn't get it right. I'll be dropping an email to our home study worker tonight to make sure that gets straightened out. Wonder how long that'll take.. Oy! Our placement worker is coming to the house next Wednesday to check out our digs and hammer out the details all over again. Weeee!

Inhale pink, exhale blue. It is going to be ok. God is going to help straighten it all out just in time to get you the child you are supposed to have.

I firmly believe that gov't workers and agencies do all that they can to make sure we really want what we want! It's like one endless test!

I'm sorry that they got it wrong! I know you won't stop 'til they get it right!! :)

Oh crap. That is the last thing you need. Some smart ass teens like a certain half brother whose name I shan't mention (cough)Jonathan (cough).
Send them a text that says
BABIES ONLY!!! I WILL SUE IF A TEEN SHOWS UP AT MY DOOR.
Seriously. You do not need that kind of headache until you are old enough to be on heavy meds!

Hello,

I came across your blog via the mom blogs. I welcome you to the wonderful world of foster parenting. :o) We've adopted ourselves out of the foster care network. (we adopted 3 sons bringing our total to 5 sons)

It's a bumpy, beautiful, spirit changing road. You're about to feel very, very alive. Welcome to your purpose for this season of your life. :o)
