Well, we are down to 7 dogs because DFACS wanted us to find homes for some of them. We still have not been approved. My husband is from Canada and they want him to have fingerprints and a background check from there (even though he had to have one when he first entered the states). Sometimes, I feel like they are just looking for anything to drag out the process and to see just how far they can push us before we crack. The little boy that I put up in my first posting has been put on hold. Several of the children that we have been keeping up with are now on hold or placed.

I have six more weeks of school before Christmas break. I was thinking for sure that we would have a child in the house by then. But, it doesn't look as if that is going to happen. I am aiming to have made some kind of progress by Spring Break. That would be nice. We stopped dealing with our Social Worker because she is a nasty old coot, and we started dealing with her supervisor instead. We aren't moving much faster, but at least she is nice to us and she acts like she cares.

I used to be so anxious about this whole process, but now I am just numb from it all. I still can't wait for that phone call, but I don't run in and grab the phone first thing anymore. I don't even go into the bedroom that we have prepared unless I have to go in there for some specific reason. When I go in there, I start thinking, and I get all worked up.

Well, that about sums up all I have to say right now....so....TOOODAALOOOO!
