feeling down...

I'm a recently licensed FP. have had two placements that were short. we're so anxious for a long term placement though. maybe we've made it hard because we have asked for them to place a little girl under the age of 6 and unfortunately, we can only take one child at a time, so we wait. i'm frustrated with waiting.

I totally know what you mean. We've been licensed for 6 months without a placement. We're only taking up to 2 kids ages 2 and under though, so I'm sure that's why. So, I guess I'm learning patience!

even though we will take almost any age, either sex and we are specialized we went six months between placements. I called another agency and planned to switch (more urban area they have more placements) and got a sibling group from our original agency that day. Weird eh?

I hope your wait is over really soon!
