Back on the Horse

After our experience with the boys in July, we retreated a bit and were just happy to wait for our social worker to find us a match.  Well, we've found another potential pair on the same web site that we've inquired about.  This is another pair of boys, 4 and 6.  We learned our lesson and are not getting our hopes up.  They may also have major issues as the last two, but I can't imagine that they can be much worse.

We should find out more next week.  I'll be sure to let you know what happens!

Expanding Our Search

After some discussion, Matt and I have decided to expand our search a bit.  We had previously decided against infants, but we've let our social worker know that we are ok with ages 0-8.  There are a lot of benefits, which outweigh the negatives, of adopting a baby.  There will be more time to bond and hopefully less long-term issues.  Our social worker recently mentioned that she found an infant and a 3 year-old, but passed due to our preferences.

No more!  Hopefully this speeds up the process a bit, too.

I also have an update on the two kids that we had inquired about previously - they found their forever homes.  I am very happy for them and hope they have happy lives  :)
