Progress!

So we have waited and waited and waited some more in our quest to find a match. Our wonderful, dedicated case worker told us at our meeting last week that we have blown all her other families out of the water with the number of inquiries we have put in on available children. We have had some interviews with case workers that haven't gone anywhere. It has been an exhausting process.
However, at our meeting last week something changed. First, our caseworker had been contacted by a neighboring County that wanted to interview is as a possible match for a 6 year old little girl. Then she said that our agency has a 3 year old little boy that needed a family.
So, long story short, we have a 3 year old staying with us this weekend as a trial to see if we get along.  :-) We are having a blast, and we hope to be able to say soon that he will be coming to live with us permanently.
Just as an FYI, we will not be posting any pictures online of any children until an adoption is finalized.

Waiting and waiting some more

Sorry for the long period between posts. There hasn't been much to talk about. On the adoption front we continue to try tu find a match, but one has not yet been found. We are trying our best to just be patient even though it isn't always easy. We did however have a lovely experience in providing respite care for 2 adorable little girls in October.
The younger of the two was the same baby we had in September. We also had her 3 year old sister. We ended up keeping the girls for 10 days and it was a blast. They were such sweeties. We wished we could have kept them.
Keeping them was great practice though, for both us and the dogs. Gypsy and Obi let the girls crawl all over them with no complaints. Loki just kept trying to clean up all of the crumbs.
We really had a great experience and will do respite care again if the opportunity comes up.
