We are expecting to be approved as potential adoptive parents on Monday. I'm frustrated right now because I'm not sure what happens after that. Are we still working with our home study social worker? Do we go back to the state's adoption specialist? No idea. I've asked our home study social worker this question twice with no reply.
Meanwhile, we received additional information about the remaining posted child from our original "inspiration kids" & have decided not to pursue his adoption. As it turns out, he needs a lot of attention and they believe he would thrive most in a home where he is an only child. We thought hard about this, since we have become emotionally attached to his profile, but we really want 3 or 4 kids. Also, there is still that chance that a bio kid would enter the picture so even if we did decide on one, it may not be in the cards.
I'm feeling a little blue this weekend. I've been having snow days for a week after having been on winter break, so I think I may just be getting a bit of cabin fever. Bleh. I'm very hopeful that there will be a flourish of excitement next week when we get our official approval & start the matching process... whatever it is! :) Until then, maybe a nap is in order.
