Ok I'm so used to being disappointed so I didn't share I figured nothing will come of it??? I was wrong here comes the rollercoaster........... so this will be looooooooooooooooooooooong but exciting. 
:
8-5-10 We got a
today from one of our sw'ers today evidently she is very interested in
us for a little 8 year old girl- she sent us her child profile 18 pages
looooooong! It couldn't have happened a better day .... I don't know if
anything will come of this but dh & I talked we are going for it! .
. it does sound promising.
She's been through alot in her short life but dh & I feel optimistic. I contacted the sw saying YES! we're interested in proceeding! Our home study was sent...We're Proceeding: whatever that means. We'll find out tomorrow hopefully sw'er will contact us via emails.

8-13-10 I got a & an email WE're PICKED for the INTERVIEW process it will happen next week!
Dh & I went out to dinner & a movie to discuss everything & have a mini- premature
& I stress 'premature' celebration as we haven't been picked yet.... but we are moving in that direction. It could happen as we are another step closer!
Here's the email

8-16-10 This little girl has been through so much; I pray if god wants this to happen he'll give us a clear sign... like the sw'ers picking us. I truly believe it is a miracle when you are picked because it seems to happen sooooooooooo infrequently. It's a huge decision; I know it won't be all rosy & many adjustments will happen. We have to ask ourselves what we want from this adoption & be realistic of what S is able to give and to be ok with that.
OMG we're moving forward! Maybe this is the one.

We got another email.....: we have to answer 3 more question to be
reviewed by the caseworker on the Team making the final decision.
email said: ........
Please read and respond to these questions asap. I will then send them to the caseworker for you. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call.
Attached are some questions for additional information for the team to consider if you could get the answers from your family and let me know—thanks
_____________________________________________
The question are very general:
1.Childcare plans during the summer and before & after school?
2 Are you able to take time off when the child would be placed pre-adoptively
in your home to be supportive during her transition?
If yes how much time?
****3. Are there agencies in your area that provide therapy so the child is able to continue her therapy?****
We are stumbling on #3 I called the sw to get some input but they left for the day.
I have some ideas & dh looked up services available in the schools we are considering sending her I want to get nfo on 2 schools/ 2 outside therapists that are covered in our insurance plan, & maybe a # for a crisis hot-line if needed for emergencies that is all I know to do?????????? I want to touch base w/ my sw'ers tomorrow & then email my answers back
We'll see.
I pray the lord helps us find a way... all this is very overwhelming
....... It's like you have to have an answer and a plan for every
eventuality before it happens- even though it may not happen at all.
Jeeeez.
