We are working on getting our home study updated. Sat. we spent the day getting 8 more hours of CE time. This would be wonderful and worthwhile, if they taught new stuff. Or even if they give examples and ideas to deal with different kids and situations. They read out of a book, and ask set questions. Boring :) Also I am sure the fact I am so involved with our online support I am continuing to learn and educate myself doesn't help in me finding this boring. But it is done!!!! One more hoop jumped through!
Next is on Tue. we have to get our finger prints done. It should be interesting. I may see what I can find to study tomorrow about fingerprints. That way the kids will be "educated". So when they march into the Public School Admi. building with us it will be even more fun. That is where we have to go to get the finger prints. It isn't our school district, but this district isn't very home school friendly. Oh well :)
After that the case worker is suppose to come out. I am hoping this week. I know I am probably dreaming, but I can dream! Not sure what the next hoop will be. We will cross each path as we come to it.
Still no real news on the adoption front. I haven't had a call from AR. I don't know if we are going to NM next weekend or not. I really don't feel we are suppose to, but want to see what dh feels.
I am sure most of you have been following the FLDS news taking place. It is taking place in our area. San Angelo is our "hub" city. Where we go for most of our things. My heart has been so heavy and so confused and sad. I have spent a lot of time praying for all involved. I feel God wanted me to do something, but what? Finally Friday I got the chance. Thursday when we were at therapy the therapist and I were talking about the FLDS. She is recommending keeping the children with the moms. She was shocked and surprised that I knew of a few homes willing to take moms and children. She called me Friday to see if I could get a list of names. They were trying to keep the women and children from being moved to Dallas. I did get the list of names to her. It felt good doing something! I have no idea what will happen next, but if everyone will please pray that God opens doors for these mommies and children to stay together, yet safe. One thing the CPS workers said Sat. at our class is they have never had mommies and babies so bonded. That it was amazing. My heart hurts so there are no words. Just join with us in praying God opens doors and changes lives.
Everyone have a blessed Sunday! |
