I found out last week that we are officially licensed. Now just waiting for the phone to ring. We are going out of town next week so decided not to take a placement until we get back.

We're almost finally there! We did the final review of the homestudy yesterday and she'll submit everything this week and then... away we go!

I've tried to explain to our son that we may have lots of kids come and go and we'll love them and maybe even feel sad when they go (and it's OK to cry) but that one day we'll find a little girl that will be his forever sister.

I hope the foster part isn't too hard on him - or us.

Agency said we should be licensed as of last week but we havent heard anything from them.

I have a feeling its going to be a long wait.
