We have placed a ton of inquiries into children and sets of children, my guess would be around 35 so far. We have had sparse feedback. I know our case worker is doing her best to try and contact people and get updates or even contact people, but it is dreadfully slow and there is little feedback. We had been told that they would start interviewing families for a pair of brothers at the end of July or beginning of August, we have heard nothing back. Apparently, it is not the normal case that they let you know if they chose not to interview you, or they found another family etc. I personally think some of this process needs some automation. Even if it is a list of families that are interested in a certain child(ren) that sends automatic emails out to folks to say that so and so has found a home. That way we may be sad, if we had our hopes up, but we can be glad they have found a loving home also.
Recently we've had a bit of turn about is fair play. We have had 2 case workers contact our case worker and ask if we were interested in a set of children. Both times we got little more information than their ages, but we have replied, YES! to each. So now our profile goes out to the case worker for the children and if they like us, I assume, we will then get the children's profiles. It is a good feeling to know that we are being picked for something, even if we hear crickets afterwards.
So for now, its Sit! Stay! for both of us.
