(Past Tense) ]]> http://conceptionandsomuchmore.com/topic/46950/IT-HAPPENED-Past-Tense- What a surprising unexpected day. The sw called me about a child we inquired about a month or so ago; we knew our HS went to the county now they say we want to see you for an interview. Dh & I are think yeah right we've been here before ( BACK IN OCT. ); we set a date this friday the 14TH we traveled 6 hours there & back to to the middle of PA....

the meeting WAS at 3pm much to our surprise it seems like a formality; the other 2 Acouples dropped out indirectly the sw'ers dropped the ball not staying in touch.... which was fine we found out..... as the sw wanted US.

The interview was VERY informal-mainly informational; some questions then after an hour it was over .................. then they say how would you like to meet C?! ....OMG YES! we say.

then before we know what hit us; they are saying we are matched & we want you to be her parents- if you WANT.

We are speechless did this just happen~!!!!!!!!!

The sw said he will have 'no quality of life based on tests they have done.' They are going withdrawl support. The bmother has been at his side. In light of this new nfo any adoption plans have been withdrawn. How horrible. My heart breaks for them.

The email said......

Unfortunately we were not selected...... ( yep I wasn't expecting that! - sarcasm. Razz

) I need to vent a minute ok
They were really stuck for a decision.... they were dead locked. (shocking) Rolling Eyes

So what it came down to was that the other couple lived closer (?????-I'm so sick of hearing about geography.

I wonder what the decision will be. ]]> http://conceptionandsomuchmore.com/topic/45364/It-s-Friday-YAY-I-wonder-what-the-decision-will-be- Ok I have to say we're ok w/ whatever happens.

At this point ....we just want a answer! Enough is Enough already. Just tell us you don't want us ..... so we can move on...start looking for other kids.

We've been close soooooooo many times before why would this one be any different?? Logically I know it has to happen sometime... but it's hard to comprehend anyone would choose us after soooooooo many rejections, so many years of trying for a family.

Then my optimism kicks in; well it has to happen sometime? ..... maybe god has chosen this one, this little girl for us. ...

Part of me wants to know.... the other part is sooooooooooo nervous to know.
Might as well try to enjoy this what seems like a never-ending journey. What would break some marriages only seems to make ours stronger .... then I think.....

We signed a lot of papers. Received the 'Foster to Adopt' handbook all the guidelines-multiple papers signed. Took a tour of our home room by room,
( cleaned the house for 2 days! ) Showed her the emergency #'s by the phone, the floor plan of the house posted for fire evacuation. Fire extinguishers, & smoke detectors in place.

& Wala! We are an.......... 'Approved Foster to Adopt Family' or a pre-adoptive home!

It said, ......
' ALL EFFORT YOU ARE MAKING WILL ULTIMATELY PAY OFF.'
and I can only think of one thing it means.

Now let me say I am obviously hopeful but am preparing myself if things don't work out.
But it does sound promising doesn't it??

She is adorable & soooo darn colorful just like me! The sw'er took our pix .... I'm sure they will approach S & ask her how she feels about meeting 'her friends'. Maybe use that pix IF their is a transition S has to get; used too once we are picked IF we are picked. I even played on the jungle jim thingy at Mc Donalds & S said as we parted ways...
' I want to see them again. I like them so much. ' aaaaaaah

The sw'ers said they needed some time 'to think' & deliberate... we don't know if the 'other couple' still has to see her or not yet.

So now we wait for the final word.

3 hours away to go to McDonalds for LUNCH! To meet S- Little 8 year old girl for the first time! I tell myself it'll be fine but I am nervous. & it's silly... to make matters worse I haven't been to Micky D's for ....it has to be 25 years! I talked to dh & we'll hit some on the way to meet S- I just want to familiarize myself w/ what all they offer.... for instance what is in the 'happy meal' these days, is there a toy they put in it for the kids? The sw chose this Micky D's because- S is being rewarded for good behavior & it has a playground. I think I'll be fine I'm just over-thinking.

I can't believe it now comes down to a Lunch??!! Then they make a decision. What if I spill food on myself, trip over my big feet, say something stupid....OH no! what... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Sydangle2) http://conceptionandsomuchmore.com/topic/45345 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 19:02:14 PST <![CDATA[ The Meeting ....... ]]> http://conceptionandsomuchmore.com/topic/45334/The-Meeting- Waiting for one more response from CYS but it looks like the meeting it WILL be
Next Friday!!!! aaaaaaaaaaah

We get to meet S! The 8 year old little girl that may be ours! We've been thinking of her since May hoping praying thinking this may be the ONE.

But then we have to have another mini-interview.. & then they make their decision; US or the 'other' couple. How nerve wracking!

I just hope they make their decision shortly after. In our favor ofcourse.
