Yes, you read right! We are going to be foster parents. It has been a long journey and we have finally announced it to the world (via facebook, lol). After 2 years of trying to conceive naturally and with oral infertility drugs, we have decided to take a different route. Which lead us to foster/adoption care. We have been debating and praying for over a year about which agency to go with, and God kept putting Hope for Tomorrow in our way, so we called them in December and we will be licensed on February 15th. Its so overwhelming to us that we have been waiting to be parents for so long and we might have children, yes childREN in our home in less than 2 weeks!
Now for the details! We have had our homestudy, inspections, and many hours of training completed over the last 2 month and its finally here. We will be licensed in less than two weeks and its a bit overwhelming but we are very excited!
We have made our selection criteria for children that are 0-12 years old, any race, and either sex. We have the room finished, it is decorated red and blue (I will post pics soon) and has everything a 0-5 year old would need, if we get an older child we will have to change some things up. We do not know when the exact date will be that we get a child, but we are anticipating at the most 2 weeks after we receive our licenses.
