Our meetings

This last week has been so crazy! We had two full disclosure meetings one on Monday and one on Tuesday. Mondays went pretty well they basically just covered the past any info they had about the bio parents and the reason for the boys being taking out of the home. Really wasn't to intimidating or excited pretty much just the facts. And then there was Tuesday. That was a rough day! We went over everything that hast to do with the boys now, we spoke with the therapists, foster parents, and social workers. They proceeded to give us the run down on everything that is wrong with them, how terrible they can be, and how they do not want to be adopted and how hard it is going to be for us and them, but let me just say I LOVE my hubby! Because after we had listend to what they had to say he simpled said ok so you have said all the bad stuff now for our sakes can we hear some good things about them? The room went quite for a second and finally the foster parents spoke up and told us how lovable they can be. How much joy they can get out of helping out around the house and helping to build things, how there little loughs can just brighten your day! Finally we heard about who they really are not just how they can act out because they are confused and in pain. We had our time to ask questions and we got answers to some of them.

We are waiting again for another two weeks because one of the therapists "needs" to be on vacation and so we should all just wait on her...... Sorry but Im not thrilled about that one.

Once she gets back from the very necessary trip... We will have a calendar staffing which is where we will all will determine the schedule of visits. first we will go to the foster parents home for dinner, and then maybe they will come to our home, then Charlie and I will take them out for the day, then they will spend the night and then finally they will come HOME!

my heart is aching to just be done with the paper work and to start raising our family! Gods timing is perfect but so hard some times.
