Another placement!

I received a call today about another placement. This time it was only for one child!! He is 6 1/2 years old and will probably be a permanent placement right away. We won't know that until some time next week though. (In case you are wondering what that means, a temporary placement means that they might go back to be with their birth family, if their parents can work through the case plan that the judge gives them within the time frame that he/she sets for them. If they can't do that then they become a permanent placement. If they are a permanent placement right away that means that you will be able to adopt them after they have lived with you for a minimum of 6 months.) I really can't give any more details about him on here because of the HIPAA laws. Anyways, after I got off the phone with CCHO, I called Todd so we could talk about whether or not we thought this would be the right placement for us. We said YES!! We feel that he would be an awesome fit for our little family and we would love to have him as our son! Now we wait again...Our home study was turned in today to his case worker in the county he is from. She will review it, along with any other matches they have for him, and let us know, probably on Monday, if she thinks we are the right family for him. If so, it sounds like we will get him next week. About 10 minutes after I got off the phone with Todd, he received a phone call from a friend asking if we could use any boys clothes sizes 5-9. If that's not a God thing, I don't know what is!!! So we are hoping and praying that maybe that was a little sign from God telling us that they will choose us to be his parents. :) If not though, that's ok too. That just means that God has some different little ones in mind for us. While we are waiting for the news, we would really appreciate all of your prayers for the little guy as he waits to be placed with his forever family, whether that's us or someone else. Also that God would give us peace as we wait for the news, and for peace and comfort if the answer this time is no.

Thank you all so much for following our story!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
