Hooray! Hooray! You did it. All 4 kids adopted from DYFS. All 4 kids safe and sound with you. NOW will you stop calling yourself a "Mad"FosterMomma? Cause now you are a happy momma! I am proud of you. You did it. But what will you do now that you don't have DYFS people at your house/on the phone every day? I know you will be lonely for them.....

I just said to my husband that once the move is over and we dont have DYFS people invading I will be bored- figured maybe I'll volunteer helping the bomb squad or something - much calmer than foster care

Perhaps volunteer for the CPR Board. That's my plan after my case is done.

P.S. Guess I'm the lone one whose placement came in mid 2006 who is still unresolved. Plan still concurrent, believe it or not. God has a plan...and I trust him completely.
