Oh, the thoughts running through my head! The only thing we are "sure" of is that we want to give foster parenting a go. Beyond that (which county, age, how many at a time, race...etc...) is still up in the air. I am just itching to be about 10 steps from where we are now. Classes done, home study done and getting that beloved first call!
Just like infertility, there is a lot of waiting. So far this week, I've made some phone calls to my contact (former social worker my boss knows) and to Franklin County Children Services. On day 2 of waiting for both to return email/call. My plan for tomorrow is to move things along and pester a little more (yet another thing I've learned through IF...)
I started this blog because I was SO inspired by the (few) blogs I've read by truly amazing women who made me realize I could also do this. To you women, I say thank you for blazing the trail we are about to begin!
But I Could Never!!
