Last week, we received a very exciting phone call – a call for the adoptive placement of 2 young girls!
I was so excited to announce the news to you last Tuesday on Facebook, albeit prematurely. As a seasoned foster parent, I should know better.
Often times in foster care, the calls come but the kids don’t.
It has been nearly a week, and our caseworker has not heard back from the girls’ caseworker.
What my intuition is telling me: The family members probably balked at adopting the girls (they are in 2 separate relative homes), hoping another family member would adopt. However, rather than send their little ones off, the family will step up.
I can totally understand. And I am thrilled if this is the case for these little girls.
If the girls do come, I’m sure it won’t be before Easter, although I would love to share the story of the resurrection with this cookie recipe.
However, in the mean time, we wait…
Other Waiting
The biopsy was excruciating; I’m sure my outbursts of pain permeated that floor in the hospital during the ordeal. However, that pain has a purpose to bring peace of mind. The doctor is extremely optimistic, performing the biopsy as a precaution.
Now we wait to receive the results on Friday the 13th, no less…
How many “failed placements” have you had?
