Overnight visit

So, we have a referral. for a 19 year old. she has a 13 month old child and is pregnant.
first of all- with this and many other things, i am having this strange Dejavu... like everything this year is just like last year..but last year happened...i don't know. i wish i could go into it more, and i will. but not yet... i need a few weeks...
anyhow, this girl must have her head somewhat on her shoulders to stay in care. she did that by choice, so she could finish her education and not be on the street with two children. Smart girl :)
and being in care is certainly no picnic. it is like having crazy bureaucratic parents, who sometimes helicopter parent you, and sometimes disappear for months. you never know what to expect. never know where you are going to live. but, she is choosing that. because it is better for her kids.
so, she is coming over tomorrow morning to spend the night and go with us to church on Sunday. we will get a feel for her,and she will get a feel for our family.....
so i will keep everyone posted!
