How the system works

We have had a lot of questions about what comes next in our process. So I just wanted to let everyone know that our file has been submitted a few times. When our case worker hears of kids that she thinks we would be a good match for she sends our file to the kids case worker. We know very little about the kids she submitted our file for. Usually ages, gender & race. So far I think we've kept it under 6 years old, but who knows what the next one will bring. We were notified today that one of the case workers that has our file has narrowed it down to "a few" files. Ours is one of them. The kids case workers and all those involve on their side will get together in the next couple of weeks and discuss the "few" files they have. They will talk with the case workers of those families, including ours. Our case worker will continue to look for kids while this is happening because we may not be the ones picked. While this is exciting, it is not a done deal. It is my hope that the childrens case worker will find the best family for them. And while I think we're a pretty great family we may not be the best family for these kids. After all, it's all about the kids!! So we continue to wait and pray. If you do want to pray with us, don't pray that we get picked, pray that all involved in this decision will be insipired to find the best family for these kids. And if it's us, we will definately need your prayers. :)
