Well, 15 days after CPS chose us to be the parents of these precious little boys, our agency has received their case file. They will review it and then get with us and help us go through all the details of their past.
Once we have done that, we will have our placement staffing. This will be a meeting with lawyers, case workers, casa worker and foster parents...all the people actively involved in the boy's lives at this moment. They will tell us all they know about the kids and their case and we can ask any and all questions.
This meeting is the life changer for us. We have a mandatory 24 hour waiting period before they will accept our answer of yes or no.
I am so excited I can hardly contain myself and yet crippled with fear about becoming an instant mom! I can envision life with our three sons...their smiles and laughter, enjoying their first times at so many things, it is a wonderful dream. Then I think, what if I am no good at this? No more quite moments, not having a schedule and doing as we please, always having someone need me. It is a huge change!!
I'm just going to take a leap of faith and trust that God has all this taken care of!!
Until then, I will work on my patience as I wait on CPS :-)
