The Search Continues....

Well this week has been an eye opening process. We signed up for a matching service to help us find kids across the country. This allows us to see children that are currently in foster care that are in homes that will not adopt them once they become legally free. It is so sad when you realize so many of these kids will never be adopted and will age out of the foster program and be out on their own. If we could, we would take so many of these poor kids that want a family more than anything, but we have made a choice of age range and a lot of these kids don't fall in that range. We are looking for kids in the range of 2-11 years old. We have put an inquiry in on some kids from Oregon. Now we just wait to see if their case worker will select our family to make a pre-placement visit to Oregon to see the kids and see if they fit. As we found out though, we have to continue looking since the case workers will make the decision solely based on what is in your home study without even talking to us. No matter what we will continue on and find the kids that belong in our family. We know that all things happen for a reason and when the right ones that are meant for us are available , they will come. Just remember the spaghetti dinner coming up on March 1st.... We have many great items that have been donated for the silent auction so bring your check book or cash.. We have Boondocks passes, Photo Session, Outer Beauty Salon Certificate, Outback Gift Certificates, Avon packages, Wood Creation items, Pizza Factory, Custom Wedding Cake, Quilts, Blankets, Kids hair clips/bows, Signed Children's books. Working on more items this week so stay tuned.... Hope to see you all there!!!
