I'm so excited and I can't just hide it....

or something like that! Can't quite remember how the song goes!

We were selected for the sibling group of two that we have been interested in for a couple of months now. We go to read their files on Monday. "S" is a girl and is nine and "N" is a boy and is 10. Both are in the fourth grade as "N" was held back. We are excited and can't wait to meet them and/or have them move in. "S" is in a facility and the three months are up on the 9th, so I don't think we will have to wait long.

We are so blessed again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am tired just thinking about it But oh so happy for you!!!!!! I am always amazed at the few large families I know and how seamlessly they do things. There are days when I can't handle TWO kids.

Congrats!!! I hope all goes well for you guys. I work with someone who was placed in her adoptive family at the age of nine after bouncing foster families for several years and she's still very close with her adoptive family and forever credits them for who she is today.
