Good to hear from you again Mandy! It has been fun to follow your progress and your Danial is beautiful!
We have gotten to talk with him on the phone twice. The second time, he asked us questions about ourselves. I think he is trying hard to sell himself at this point. He even said his favorite food is vegetables! That can't be truth!
We are trying to convey that we just want to get to know him and that he shouldn't worry about scaring us away. That will come, I guess. So, we are waiting on everyone else to get in gear and set up a meeting. We have to meet him in an in between city once and then we can see him at his group home several hours away. Only then will they start the paperwork. This might be wishful thinking, but we would really like to have him as a foster situation by August 18th!!! Then he could start school with the rest of the freshmen. He will be attending the private school that my husband teaches at. I think it would be nice for him to start with the other students and not have to be Mr. H's adopted son.
So...hopefully we will get to meet him in person this week. I hate that he is in a group home. Sometimes when we call, the staff says that they can't deny or confirm that he even lives there. And I don't the other staff don't make it very easy to speak with him either. (we are on his contact list, but it still is hard to get to him.) Grrr. We have to get him out of there ASAP.
Thanks for the support.
Jill
