Roller Coaster

We received our Foster Certification certificate in early February and since then I've been thinking..."just pray and wait."  So I've been pretty patient knowing that things will happen in your timing, well, I don't know what you have planned, but sheesh!  Last week we received a call from the Placing Social Worker to touch base with us and let us know we were officially in the system.  This was great to hear since we have heard of people who waited years and when they finally looked into it, there was no record of them in the system.  UGH!  So she asked me questions about how we want to serve with them and I informed her of our decision for adoption only situations at this point.  She agreed that was a good fit for us at this time and that we would not be hearing from her for a very long time and "she hopes to cross paths with us again."  SO, my heart sank, yet I knew this was as it should be! 

Well, yesterday Pedro got a call from the county asking if he had been contacted about a child or if I had...he responded "NO."  So we're asking more questions, but I am praying for the child to continue to be cared for according to their needs and that whoever is blessed to adopt this child, that they will come to love and hold him/her no matter what the situation is!  I also pray that God will carry me through this because I'm already attached.
