My hubby and I went to an interview this week with a county for 2 boys - 12 and 13, I got a call today that the worked wants us to meet the kids for icecream next week.
We are not matched, the kids are old enough that they want them to participate in the process but the worker did say she really had a good feeling about us so she is keen...
I am completely intimidated about the idea of meeting these two kids for an hour and that being the basis of all our decision!
I have read their profiles and talked to the worker for several hours and they really sound like a wonderful fit for us but in my sw words "now it comes down to if the kids sw sees chemistry at the meeting" (which makes it sound like a blind date!).
So I am hoping someone can offer some wisdom ... anything would be very very welcome. We have been foster parents to 6 kiddos, all gone home now, and have no bios, these boys would be our only...it is a little bit of an nontraditional match, DH and I are only in our mid twenties so there is not the typical age gap between us and the kids...
I am running around taking pictures to show them - our house, our pets, the local school, what we do on weekends ... apparently the kids are very chatty and already have a load of questions for us ...
