We got a call today for a 10 yr old boy - to do respite until his TPR appeal was over and an adoptive home could be found. I couldn't get a hold of my DH to see if he'd be willing, so had to say no. We got a call late last week about doing respite for a 12 yr old boy -- he again was a preadoptive child looking for a preadoptive home.

So I know our agency is getting placements.....

Has anyone gotten any calls... you all have been quiet!

although I am still waiting to hear back about a sibling group.They told me today that things are slow and they are not getting many referrals.Wow !!! they are really calling on your family but thus far they all seem to be older.Do they ever call you for younger children?
I am hoping that my telephone rings soon as well!!

No, they don't because we don't take kids under 6 or 7. They must be school age. So yes, they are all older and they are only for respite, but altho they are respite they are preadoptive kids (meaning looking for adoptive homes not foster homes). Just wanted to make sure you all knew that they are getting calls, just may not be within your criteria!

I am still awaiting news about a possible placement from 2 weeks ago. I guess the counties are making sure that they choose the right family.I an the mean time I have been placed on a 'HOLD" status.
I just want to hear something....has anyone recieved any calls recently ?

We a 1 fs now. We told our cw we would be willing to take 1 more age 6 or under. She told us she has a need for homes for teen girls. We were asked to take a 12 yr old boy but, we are not prepared for children of these ages. We are not with the county so that may be why we have heard about older children only. We are also more than an hour from our agency.
