The ball will officially roll from the hands of FBCH and our SW this week, to SCC and a "mystery SW" who will be doing our HS.
Tonight-I basically completed the last of our paperwork-D will sign off on it tomorrow. We need to get finger-printed, physicals and have 3 others do some finger-printing too. And-the rest is up to the SW--our work is done other than continuing to work on the house.
A lot of "waiting" in the in-betweens.
We'll have a LONG HS w/ the SW from SCC-interview us as individuals (boys included), a family, etc. Walk around and inspect home. Then, a Health Dept. inspector will be scheduled to come out. All this is probably what will take so long--waiting for the next appointment, etc.
Our SW said to give it at least 8 weeks of being "in the works"--but not to expect our 1st placement until around Dec. 1. You know-the.most.chaotic-I mean-wonderful.time.of.the.year! ;) It's okay--have I mentioned this is ALL GOD'S? All.His.Timing!
We still have "piddly" errand types of things to do--purchase 2 required fire extinguishers (2 floors), safety-proof certain things--but because of how fast we accomplished tasks this weekend-and pounding out paperwork tonight--I'm feeling we're ahead of the game. For.NOW! ;)
So, hope this answers some questions. Oh-and NO--we do NOT know who we're "going to get." Nor do we have a preference of boy/girl. We are sticking to the age group of 0-5 years of age. The room is ready with boy and girl toys.
That's all, for now. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we venture on this beautiful journey God has called us on--and keep in touch! :)
