So since you all know that we finalized the adoption of our son, for a few days and weeks we weren't sure what we wanted to do with our foster care license. Well we are staying foster parents. We ultimately would like to adopt another child for sure. But now we have that initial "I want a baby" phase taken care of. Yes it would be awesome to be placed with another baby, but it is a lot of work. We ultimately would like someone close to our sons age, but that will likely be unlikely. There are a few things that go into me saying that. First, we seam to possible be on the sh*t list since we have not received a call for a placement in 7 months... And that one was totally impracticle for us, we currently had D who was 2m at the time, and the placement was for a newborn girl and another young girl (siblings). Another reason that I say that is we are only licensed for two munchkins, I think it might have gotten changed to one now, but I don't have an updated license.... It is fairly rare in our county to just have a singleton. Usually there are sibling sets unless it is a baby or it is a rare single child in home. So thusly rare for us to get another placement. The third reason is we have a new Lisense worker/CW... who we have yet to meet. I plan to shoot her an email just to introduce myself, but I probably wont get a chance to meet her and see how her team matches until our home visit sometime in december. BTW, why don't old license workers notify you when they leave-arg!!
We plan to leave it in Gods hands, but we are in no rush to adopt more kids right now. We have thought about doing respit, but that really doesn't seam like we are helping the kids, just their foster parents. I also feel that that God is starting to move my heart to waiting child adoptions from foster care. So I don't know what this path will take us to, but with God leading it will be an adventure :)
