Eleven weeks and five days -- let's just say 12 weeks, ok?  

Twelve weeks, and we *finally* have an ok from the FBI and state BI saying that we are not criminals!  WooHoo!  I honestly was thinking this past week that it may never happen, that something unknown was in our path and we would never be certified.  I started to give up on hopes and dreams, both for us and for the children in our path.  The process is now rolling again, and God's timing is evident.  

Our report was sent to DHS and will be read and reviewed either tomorrow or next Thursday.  We have been assigned a home supervisor and need to meet with her to be sure there are no mistakes in our written report, sign education agreement plans saying we will have a minimum of 20 hours of foster care related education in the next year, and sign contracts.

After that, we carry a phone non-stop and wait for a call asking us to invite a child to our home to be cared for until a judge decides the location they will call home.  Here's to doing our best! 

We'll keep you posted!
