Two Blogs in One

There has been a lot going on this last week! First of all, a week ago today we found out that we were being considered as a family for a little girl. We were interviewed on Thursday and should find out tomorrow if we have been chosen. The girl's social worker said that she received 35 family profiles, she narrowed it down from 35 to three... and then ruled one of those families out due to distance. So it was between us and one other family. Our interview went well -- so we will just wait and see.

Then, we were alerted on Friday that there was a two year old boy needing respite care for the weekend. We shrugged and said, "Sure... why not?" So we had a very active two year old for the weekend. And we learned something important about ourselves. We had known that fostering was probably not for us... but even planned respite care is too hard on us emotionally. We had a child for two days -- and handing him off was heart-wrenching. NOT GOOD.

SO... lots going on. We'll know more tomorrow. We're back to "wait-and-see."
