Hi all,
I normally post in the foster support group but this seemed more like the place for this post. I am just so excited I could burst and it is for such a small little thing it almost seems silly. But I figured yall may understand.
I am the mother of an 11 yo son who has Goldenhar Syndrome (blind/deaf, G&J tubes, trach, scoliosis...). We just got our foster/adopt license (after a year-long home study process) and I have been stressing so much over what children would be a good match for our family with all of my sonҒs oddities. Well, I found what just may be the ideal match.
I found a little 2 yo boy from a neighboring state that appears to have the same, or very similar, syndrome as my son. (Trach, asymmetrical face with the tell-tale jaw that sits askew) It seems very premature to get excited about a child just seen on a web site. I cant imagine many people would look at his picture and think, ooo he is so cute and he would fit perfectly in our family! But, to me, he looks so much like my son that I just want to hug him. I keep picturing us helping him through all the same difficulties that we helped our son through.
Our CW is sending our home study to his CW today so hopefully I will be able to get more information about him soon. Man, the waiting is so hard!

ICPC is done! Overnight visit this weekend, weekend visit the next. Move in set for the week after. Yippie!
Now that I know him better, I hereby dub Little M "Mickey".

All the way from seeing a picture in a photo listing to chasing a very active 3 year old around my house and yard. Mickey has spent the past few days since moving in dancing to his favorite TV show, snuggling and tilting with tree branches. I had forgotten what a great toy a stick could be! I can hardly believe he is here but my sudden sleep deprivation can attest that it is indeed true.

I thought I would put a cherry on this thread I started so long ago. I just got word that the last of the paperwork has been approved and we are set for adoption finalization on Sept. 20th. *insert smile with happy tears in eyes here*
