Oh, where to begin now.
The best news - our home study has been sent to the state for approval!! When I messaged our worker with a note on how speedy I thought it all went, she replied with "That's just how we roll!"
That's going to be my motto this week!
In a little bit sadder news - we've been notified that they are moving forward with an aunt for a placement for Dude 1 and Dude 2. While this makes zero sense in my head - since aunt has sister, and sister is set for reunification - how are they going to keep the boys from the confusion of visits with mom - it's not for us to contest at this time. We did tell them to let us know if something falls through. We feel sad about this and worried for the boys. Just keep praying for them and that they'll find the loving home that they need!
So - without an idea of a placement in our future - we're really just sitting and waiting now. Once our license comes through (she said before Christmas probably! yikes!) - we'll be working with a F/C case worker and an Adoption worker since our goal is to adopt from Foster Care. We have decided to only take permanent wards right now, which means it could possibly take a long time for children in the age range we're capable of caring for become "available" for adoption.
