Thought I would post an update since I had a few PMs inquiring....

The foster parenting went on hold back in Oct due to my mother having knee surgery......during that time I was in Chicago every weekend....therefore it wasn't the best time to take in a child in need.

When that was over then there was Christmas. In the middle of Jan I got a call telling me the FBI office in Madison lost my fingerprints and I needed to have them taken again.

Once that was all solved I waited about a week to get my license in the mail.

Well today I got a phone call for a 14 yr old female who along with her 2 siblings was being removed from her home due to neglect. (I found out that is all I will typically get)Immediately I was overcome with excitement and fear. Excitement as I have been waiting and ready to see if I can change a kids life...fear because I in effect will not know this stranger in my house who will probably still have incredible loyalty and love to their family and old enough to know how to run away and find their way back to the neglectful home. That and I still had not hidden my porn...

Well I informed that I would get another call once they had possession of the children. Well 30 minutes I received a call informing me that the girl was instead being placed with family who came to claim her.

So for now I continue to wait.
