Well, we heard yesterday that a worker representing a sib group we were considering called our worker for more info about us. We're not sure yet. She's sending more information about them and another sib group in her care to our worker.

DH is not very interested at this point - he thinks they're more than we can handle. I disagree. I'm going to wait to make my case until after we read their info, though. Our sw is worried that I haven't thought things through. I get so frustrated when he puts on the brakes - I usually do most of the care of children and chores, so I don't know what his big hesitation is.

Oh, well. We'll have to wait and see. I'm finding that few sw's are considering us for smaller numbers of kids (1-2) because we already have three - there are so many applicants for 1-2 children that they can pick and choose the families with fewer kids in the home where there is a stay-at-home parent. We do, however, get the attention of the sw's representing larger sib groups.
