Waiting

OI!

We were wondering what the process was now that we have submitted names. So, per Viola (Caseworker) we could be looking at up to three months. When the profiles are placed in the Book of Tears they set a committee date about 3 months out. So either they wait for 3 families to submit the profiles or wait until the committee date. And of course we have no idea which one we are waiting for. But, the good news is.......we won't have to wait until 2010. We are a rare case and we are sought after......because we don't mind the older children. No one seems to want to adopt older ones. Sad.

I don't remember if I wrote this in a previous blog.....but we learned something interesting. There are children out there who are 14 or so (with babies of their own) who need to be adopted too. So if you adopt the 14 year old.....you are instant grandparents. A little mind boggling isn't it?
