Thanks again!!
She hasn't left yet...they still have another week or so to find her a new home.
We did receive a call today from a placement person(that I've previously had trouble with) she suprisingly was very friendly and not judgemental of my decision.However she did try and talk me into a respite situation for a 6 year old boy for short term. I again told her no...not at this time...and not for boys unless they are babies. She tried to convice me to take him since I have experience with his special needs. I politely told her..our house was crazy enough this weekend...and I'm sick...and we just really are not interested in taking any...children until after our little foster boy leaves.
I do still hope that this little boy does come up for adoption...(if he can't be placed with his family of course). I know we would adopt him....even though that is more children than we were really prepared to adopt. He is so perfect..and we are already so bonded to him. We've already pictured him as part of our forever family...and we can see a place for him in our future. We will just have to wait and see what God has in store for us.
As far as fostering goes...though....I am finally at a point where...I know I won't take anymore older kids. If our little boy goes...we will either stop...or I will only accept little babies from now on. That's the age that seems to really fit into our family, it's not disruptive, and it's a lot of fun for everyone.
I'm actually very excited that our 4 year old will be leaving...I'm excited for the family time we will have together..and for life to get back to normal. Some of the little things she does...or says are really starting to get to me...and I think...just a couple more weeks at the most!!! Yeah!!!
