ADOPTION QUEST: Home Study Visit #2

Well we got the official sad news that we cannot get approved because of our crazy work schedules.  They have a rule that children should not be moved after 9-10 p.m. until the next morning.  Our plan to bring the child to an evening day care center while we work our evening shifts, or passing the child off at my working place when Aaron work mid-shifts, didn't fly.

So what's our options?  Get a professional nanny to stay in our house to watch the child overnight.  Or I get a day job.  Oy.

At least our house passed inspection.  The dogs were on their best behavior too.

Holy sunshine, look at the windows!

We finally got the rest of our windows replaced!  They look beautiful.  We are getting a new back screen door tomorrow.

ADOPTION QUEST: Crazy schedules = new job?

This process is making me think about my current job and if it's the right one to have while being a new mother.  Maybe I should look for a day job?  Maybe I should work part-time?  Each time I think about it, I convince myself more and more... that I should find a new job.

GIRLIE UPDATE: Movie 43 trailer

Oh man, the Butler's next movie finally put out a trailer and it's dirty nasty!  But his character is awesome!  Adults only please (that means you can't watch this Khyla!)

ADOPTION QUEST: Our last class

One thing about the instructors messing up our training schedule is that they forced us to complete our last class early.  Yay!  I'm so glad one big part of the process is over but I'm going to miss making new friends in class.

Up next... our final home study visit, one unannounced visit, our house fire inspection and our 5 friends getting their backgrounds checked and being interviewed to be our substitute care providers.  Two of the four tasks will happen in 2 weeks time.

Will they approve us to be foster parents-to-adopt?
