Waiting...

Yes...we're still doing foster care.  We finished our classes in February and are now just waiting for our certification to be ready.  Its been a long process!

Waiting is tough.  We've been waiting a looooong time for children.  But now when we think of children coming into our home now, its a reality!  But truthfully...it can be a scary, overwhelming reality. 

What we're doing isn't the normal way to have children.  One night, we're going to get a call, we'll find out (if we're lucky) the name, age and gender.  And we'll more than likely say we can take them.  This is crazy to really think about.  We'll go from going to our carefree life to, overnight, adding someone into the mix! 

We're preparing the best we can. We have their room set up.  A bed, for an older child and a crib if its a baby.  We have some clothes and some toys.  But its hard to be prepared for a baby or a toddler.  There's alot of differences!!

We've told them we'd like a 0-3 year old.  We don't care about gender or race.  We just want a child. :) Don't get us wrong...we're very excited...but also nervous! :)

The past couple weeks we've been thinking about our daily routines that will be changing with bringing a child(ren) into our home.  We know LOTS will be changing!  We won't have our care free get up and go attitudes.  We've become accustom to being able to do what we want...we've had 8 years of it!  Its going to be a transition for sure!  So...that's what's new in our lives...nothing quite yet...but we're prepping for what's to come!
