Oh, the waiting game!

Well, we've got everything done on our end that we can get done. Our adoption support paperwork is in the hands of our social worker's office, and we are just waiting for the adoption support team to call us to go over the fine print. And then we will be assigned a court date for the finalization of the adoptions. I remember back in March, when we first started talking to our adoption caseworker. She said, oh, we'll have these kids adopted by June, July at the latest. We just nodded our heads and said, yea, right - we've heard that before. And don't you know, here it is almost September, and they are still not officially ours. Did we call it or what?

And in the meantime, since they are still technically foster children, we have no open beds, and cannot take any more in, even for respite care. So we wait, and wait, and wait some more. At this point, it looks like we probably won't have any new kiddos in our home until after the holidays. Which, according to my hubby, is just fine!
