We are still waiting for our home study to be complete. We thought we were buzzing through the process so fast. We had everything completed within two months of applying! But the wrench in the plan came when Ian's finger prints wouldn't go through electronically. It has been 2 months since he had the fingerprints done and we are STILL waiting for them to get back to the county. I'm ok with the waiting in one sense because I know fostering will be really hard, but it's never fun being in limbo.
This seems like initiation into fostering. Let's see if they can wait for ridiculously long amounts of time...then we'll know they're ready to accept a kid into their home without knowing much about them, keep him or her for an indefinite period of time, and anxiously wait to hear what the courts decide about their fate!
I'm kidding. Mostly. We are trusting in God's perfect timing. Maybe there is a kid who needs a home tonight who is not supposed to be with us. Maybe we will get a call tomorrow saying we are licensed and oh by the way we have a baby who is ready to come to your house. Maybe we'll get the call about being licensed tomorrow but will wait another 2-3 months before we hear anything else. Who knows?
We will just keep waiting! This room will just keep waiting to remind a baby that he is loved, created ON PURPOSE for a purpose, and that his creator has a plan!
