Hello friends, I got the news...

I got the news I was waiting for. We got licensed today!! Praise the Lord!! I'm so excited. It seemed like forever in coming... I estimated by Thanksgiving, assumed by Christmas, and received the the call that our license came through today!

Now I join the ranks of all the other foster moms on here, and I'm so happy about that! Now I wait for a phonecall!

Thank you all! And to all of you still waiting (and waiting) to get licensed. Please keep me (and everyone) updated!! I want an announcement from each of you, too.

Potentialsinglemom, I'm glad I have a waiting buddy. I'd love to know how many others on here are licensed and waiting for their first placement. Wouldn't you?
