Hi Kate welcome - everyone here is really nice and I've learned alot and I am still learning from this site.

We haven't told our families of our plans yet. We have metioned it to some friends and they all think we're crazy! We're not expecting much family support either. When did all of you divulge your plans and how did your families react?

Our moms knew before anyone - we decided about 3 years ago - we wanted to wait until we bought our house- then DH 's mom passed away, we bought the house, had construction going on, dh had surgery - needless to say we put it off until this July when officially we decided to continue - my 2 best friends were always very supportive but my best friend ( since we were 5 yrs old) funny enough was real cool with the idea until she finally got the referral in the mail and then she was like " I don't know how you will be able to handle taking kids in and then having to let them go" so I had to polietly tell her that it wasn't aboit me - if I was able to give 1 day or 1 month were as a child was safe, loved, cared for, and not hungry then I did my job.
