We were licensed in September. Got one call for a sibling group out of our range so we said no. Even though we felt terrible about it, we knew it was the wrong fit for us. The right fit came a couple of weeks later with 4 and 5 year old sisters, but the call came the day I found out my father had passed. We had to go out of town for several days so again had to say no. After that we got two separate calls for much older kids that we are not set up for. So we continue to wait. No calls since end of October. Our resource worker says we could be waiting up to a year for our age range, 0-5. It's hard to be patient, make plans, set work schedules, etc. We're just taking it as it comes, or not. We're considering getting an independent homestudy so we can be open to kids out of our state. Not sure what else to be done beyond that. It's difficult when people ask what's happening with it all.

No calls yet, not even for kids outside our age range. I'm beginning to wonder if they licensed us without any intention of ever placing with us. I hate to think that, but we are a lesbian couple and this is the south. The waiting gets harder all the time, and we'll be pushing three months soon.

I hope that you get another call soon. Right after I got the call that didn't come, I got the call that did. Just the right child(ren) are out there for you. While I was waiting I used to think, "Well, maybe they are not even in the system yet, so they can't call me." Little did I know she wasn't even born yet :rolleyes:
