waiting

everything is slow go around here. we are just waiting for CPS to approve our varience (approval to have more than 6 kids in the home). my agency said it shouldn't have taken this long, and that we were approved, just waiting for the hard copy. Once we have that they (CPS) wants the 16 year old mom/baby pair to come to our home. so we wait, as we have been for over three weeks now. It's fine, i am in no hurry. But, i feel bad for her being at a shelter with a little baby, and also i want her to come here, because when i talked to her she said she was nursing her daughter, and i am worried that without support she may not do it for long. i know she'll get TONS of support here :)

and with Sweetpea, no news. she dosn't have a worker, conservitive or adoption. no one calls. i just assume we wait till the three months is up, then hire an adoption lawyer so we can be final. (i hope nothing happens to make anything more complicated than that!)

Why no worker?I teeter that line,of "do I call them" or do I wait?Sometimes I think its best not to stir the waters.We are their right now.Her worker/not ours is being difficult and dragging her feet,seems to almost be against us finalizing due to the tension between us and the former fosters,like the worker is punishing us for not continuing that relationship.So we wait..We shold have signed the paperwork last week,then this week,now we're looking at next week.Who knows?Does that mean you will be a group home?Or is there another title?

yeah wee will be a group home. cps has their own (private, undisclosed ) timeline
