Logan's birthday party went well. They were predicting rain, so we did not do the water guns and balloons. He had a car's theme to his party, so we got some little ceramic cars and he kids got to paint them. It seemed to go over really well. Logan had a great time.
The Ugh! is that it is been 2 months with no new foster kids. At the end of August, I checked with our caseworker, and everything was fine, there just had not been any calls for the age we are open for. I called again today. I did not want to be a pain, but I wanted to make sure that there was nothing on our side holding up a placement. Our caseworker checked, and our family was listed as "on hold." - that means they were not calling us! He is supposed to get that changed ASAP. I hope we do get a call soon. Not that I want kids to get removed from their homes, but I want to be able to provide a good home to a child that needs it.
I'm glad he had a fun birthday party! What little boy doesn't like cars, huh?
I hope the phone call opens up your home for little ones again. You have such a giving heart.
How are you feeling?
I'm generally feeling pretty good now. I'm hoping we get a call soon, b/c I'm sure as I get to the end of the pregnancy, I won't want to add a child just before a newborn comes. If we get a child in these next few months, we could be in a nice routine when the new baby comes. Wouldn't that be nice? God knows, though. I am just trying to rest in his providence.
We are a family that has opened our home to foster and adoptive children. Follow our journey along the way...
Kids currently in our home:
"Charlie" - boy born in January 04 (bio)
"Logan" - boy born in Oct 05 (adopted)
"Star" - girl born in January 07 (bio)
"Junior" - boy born August 08 (foster)
