We have a possible placement in the works! Hang in here with me while I try to make this completely complicated situation make sense to all of you!
We got a call last Friday and were asked to consider a sibling pair. After learning as much as our case manager knew, we decided to go ahead and turn in our homestudy to their caseworker. So, we were being considered along with two other families for these two kiddos.
We found out today that we were chosen out of those three families to continue on in the process of pursuing them! HOWEVER, this is not a for sure thing yet... we have to meet with the kiddos' caseworker and the GAL (the foster kiddos' attorney in court) together with Josh and I and our case manager and the soonest they're able to make that happen is November 6th! UGH! Which means it's possible that other families may jump in to contend in the mean time. So, we have the lovely task of waiting 3 weeks to find out if they're going to move forward with us for sure on these kids. Ahhh!
Okay so now the fun part!... The kiddos are E (will be 4 in Feb) and A (23 months)... They are both caucasian. We haven't seen pictures yet and probably won't until we know for sure that these kids are ours!
Our case manager told us that we should be very excited as this is a great step forward, but she also warned us that there is no guarantee and we should be "cautiously optimistic." :)
SO, please pray for us as we crawl through these next 3 weeks waiting for our big meeting! Please also pray for E and A. Pray that they will come home with us someday! Thanks all!
