I know how you feel! We are becoming foster parents and actually have our first homestudy visit on Monday. We've got the two bedrooms set up...bunk beds, a crib, changing table, etc. I keep wondering what I will do if something would keep us from getting kids (although I don't know what would). Part of me worries we jumped the gun by preparing, but another part of me knows how chaotic it would have been if we'd waited to the last minute to buy everything (first of all, we couldn't have afforded everything at once). I keep thinking I'll be a mom soon. The feeling is scary, but exciting.
I also wonder how family and friends will treat us. We do not have any biokids yet so we aren't "parents" yet. I wnder if they will consider us to be parents when we have the foster kids or just look at us like we are babysitting. I guess the important part is that we will feel like parents!
