April Showers Bring May Flowers!

So lets go over the month of April....

We have been working with CYFD to become licensed Foster/Adoption parents. It has been a long process. It's mostly been a waiting game on our side. Which becomes really trying! But some good things have happened in April.

Mid April we had our respite experience where we watched someone elses foster kids for a night. This went really well. We had 3 siblings in our house for a night and a Saturday and really had a great experience with them. We watched Life of Pi and went to the Auto Show in Albuquerque the next day. The children were great, kinda a handful, but for 7 year olds, it's expected! The dogs did wonderful with them!

The week after that we were officially licensed as Foster/Adoptive Parents! YAY! Our worker came over and had a quick visit with us to confirm what we were looking for in potential adoptive children. She mentioned to us that the agency has adoption 'fairs' throughout the year and that there should be one coming up in May. I was definitely excited to hear about that. We had already inquired about a sibling group on two young girls (M&S), but hearing that we could potential meet them and more children available made me even more excited.

The afternoon of April 29th, I received an email from our worker mentioning that the upcoming adoption event is this coming Saturday! Talk about exciting! I was beside myself with JOY! Extremely happy that it was coming up and since I just found out, we would not have to wait too long to meet the children. The next day I received another call from our worker letting us know that the sibling group we inquired about (M&S) were going to be there. Their worker wanted to ensure we were there to interact with them. If that goes well we can schedule another meeting with them. Holy Moly! I am so excited!!!!

So the event is tomorrow. I really can not wait!
