2 steps forward 1 step back

The last 6 days have been interesting.... first we get a call from the State Licensing saying the licenser doing the foster home study and safety check had the flu and had to cancel and would reschedule when she returned.... UGgghhh so frustrating after waiting for 3 months. Well she called yesterday and rescheduled for March 8th. After that we should be officially licensed to foster or adopt! There is finally light at the end of the tunnel. We have also signed up for matching assistance, which is a worker that helps us to find a sibling group around the ages we are looking for that are either in foster care currently or legally free for adoption. Now we just inquire on the kids we are wanting to adopt and if their case worker sees fit to select us, we will receive additional information on the kids we want to adopt. Lets just hope the case worker likes what our home study tells about our family. We probably wont be sharing much info on kids we inquire on since it is very devastating to be in the running for kids and telling people about it and then poof, they go somewhere else. So do not be offended if your not reading much about that on the blog for a few weeks. We will let everyone know after we are selected details about kids and when they will be home.......................///////////////////////////////////////.................................. This week is our Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser and cannot thank everyone enough for the support we have received so far. We have had about 130 people signed up to attend, almost 70 items donated for the silent auction. If you come and don't see anything that interests you, we will have donation boxes placed around for you to donate. It will be great to see everyone that is supporting us in this process and thank you in person for everything you have done. Its not to late if you decide to donate something to auction or if you want to come to the dinner. It will be held at our church at 752 North 3700 West in Layton. Come and enjoy some good food, buy some items at the auction and enjoy the company of others. We hope to see you all there!
