I have 2 girls, ages 8 and 10, that are mature little girls who are pretty independent and very quiet. I have had the tutus, tap shoes, soccer balls, beads and glitter glue everywhere. I am looking forward to the trucks on the steps and the balls all over the place.
Last Tuesday we got our first "call"! It was much harder then I ever
imagined. We got a call about a 4 year old little girl who was in our town, needed to be placed in the next few days (no waiting)
and looking for a home that would be willing to adopt in the future. But we
had to say no, because we only have 1 extra room in our house and since
she is already 4 in one year she will not be able to share with a boy. I
would be giving up my dreams of finally having a little boy running a
wreck in my home. :)
About 5 days later I get the letter in the mail saying we are approved for foster care in our home. Tomorrow our case worker will be coming by to finalize the last papers to open our home for adoption. "Legal Risk" is when the child is technically still in foster care but they have started the process of possible adoption placement. The children with legal risk are those which only have about 3-6 months before rights are terminated and parents have made minimal to no effort to get them back. You are taking a risk because the parents can all of sudden turn and get everything done. Reunification is always the goal. I am not looking to take away anyone's child. I am looking to be blessed by a child who has nobody willing to offer them a loving, healthy and stable home.
