Progress!
It feels awesome to get correspondence from our PERMANENT social worker, and to have her be kind and on top of her game. Apparently she noticed we were missing 2 pages of our paperwork (our mistake - we just overlooked it in the mound). She FAXed it to me, and all I have to do is answer the questions tonight and FAX it back.I also sent her a list of on-line resources for parents, which she sent out to her e-mail distribution list. I felt I had contributed! Here's the note I got got from her this morning:
This is wonderful....I will forward this on to my other foster parents. I will fax you the two pages right now and hopefully you can send them back ASAP. These are the only two sections left that I have to enter. If I can get the other reference back then you all be will ready for approval. This will make you all available for placement within the next week or so. Thanks for the quick response and the information.
Wow! "available for placement in a week or so" - holy cow!! Oh heart, be still.
She also asked if we would like to do respite care for a 3 yr. old African-American little girl. I said sure since it might only be a weekend night every now and then, and we could us the practice - and I think she would really dig my husband.
I'm overjoyed - off to teach my night class of Interpersonal Communication soon, then collapse - it has been a long day. Why are "retreat" days at work utterly exhausting? Ahhhhh - Calgon, take me away.
