kyburgWe got our actual confirmation letter from DCFS in the mail this week. YAY US.
Next day, I got a message from the social worker that we needed to watch Wednesday's Child this week - she'd gotten an email on a child being featured that she wanted us to see.
We endured an hour of Faux News last night to get to the segment.
He's 12 years old, and a perfect fit for Jim. She wasn't kidding.
Now.
We pursue this, and we kiss the international stuff good-bye for a year. A year more than what we're already looking at, which looks damn close to a year and a half from now.
Twelve years old, looks like an only child - and the first thing he's going to find out is that we're going to adopt other children. That alone worries me a tad.
Yeah, we were up late last night.
I had Jim call the social worker to get more information. Somehow, I had made a short list of Rules about placements and hadn't realized it. One of them was I wasn't going to turn down a placement or consider a child because it was inconvenient. Which this, frankly, timing-wise? Oh baby. *sighs*
We'll get more information. We'll think some more.
I just want to know more. I don't know if that's a good thing right now or not. He'd fit us. Would we fit him?
