After our foster parenting classes were completed, we filled out forms to have a police department background check. We knew there was a large packet of forms, agreements, bios, and such to fill out. That would be a major part of the process. To utilize our time, we wanted to begin filling out the forms to get a jump on eating the elephant one bite at a time. Unfortunately, after driving to the office to give them the application for the background check I asked for it, they wouldn't give it to me until the background check came back. It would be understandable if they wouldn't process or even accept it until then but to not give out blank forms?? Okay. Enough venting....today the BIG PACKET arrived! Luckily I received it, since my five year old retrieved the mail which often times is strewn from here to yonder. He is only interested in the Visa Credit Card offers from Disney so he can have a credit card with Mickey on it to play with.
When I told him what the packet was he was excited. A step closer to another child in our home. All of our children are enthusiastic about it. We didn't deal with the typical sibling rivalry when a new baby was welcomed into our family. Oh, believe me, they snibble and fuss at each other now, but not when they first arrived one by one. The last three were scheduled C-Sections so the planning was methodical. This will be a whirlwind. When we get the call, likely it will be a days notice. No ultrasound to let us know months in advance if it's a boy or girl coming. Since we have no preference it could be either. Possible a sibling group of two. Well, I am nothing if not spontaneous, so it works! Back to the mountain of paperwork. I will fill you in on what they are asking for, in case you are all wondering.
