To be perfectly honest I don't know why she called me. She knows that for now I only want to be contacted for children who have already been TPR'ed or legal risk. I am hoping that this is not a pattern because I felt seriously guilty telling her no yesterday!

I got the call while I was at the supermarket so I came home and immediately started putting the furniture together in the nursery because clearly this really could happen at any minute! Here's hoping that a second more appropriate call comes soon!

I have gotten (and accepted) tons of calls for kids who were not what we specified. We were willing to take kids up to 10 (including sibling groups...especially sibling groups), any race, but no sexual abuse.

We've had (temporary) placements for teens up to 17 (and pregnant!).
