Congratulations on the possible match! Hope everything works out for you. How long have you been waiting since completing your homestudy?
barbhuff,
Sorry to hear about the frustrating experiences you've had. How long have you been waiting? So how did it work when they called you in the past? They ask if you are interested and then submit you, and all the possible families go "to committee"? Are you able to use your homestudy outside of your county and/or state? I saw in your profile that you are considering international. Since you have obviously put alot into this effort (fost/adopt), I hope it works our for you soon.
Have a great day!

Thanks, Lynn. We've been at this for a little over two years.
We've been called for matches in Florida (twice), New Jersey (we could have had that one, but I was seriously wondering what those caseworkers were doing! That 8 yo girl could not be placed with her 5 yo brother because she was acting out on his agressively and sexually. She couldn't be with her own 5 yo brother, but she could be with my 5 yo? We said no quickly), and three here in Ohio-- only once by our own county.
We've been called dozens of other times ABOUT other possible matches, but those are the six times that we've actually gone to committee.
