scared silly!

I am wondering how you felt just before you were licensed and knew that you were going to start getting calls. The baby's room is ready. My family is supportive and on board. My boss and coworkers are encouraging. However, I am terrified and on the verge of tears or vomiting for the past two days. I am going to foster a legal risk 0-3 year old girl and if the opportunity arises possibly adopt her. I am excited and do really want to do this. Did you experience similiar feelings?

Just wait until you get a call! I got one saying, "You're one of three families being considered for a 21 day old baby boy. We'll let you know tomorrow."

Well, after I emailed the SW about 37 times to say "Pick me! Pick me!", I went out and drank about 4 margaritas, hoping it would help me sleep. No dice. I was just a BASKET CASE!

So yep: you're totally normal! Fasten your seatbelt; you're in for the ride of your life!
