Laurie met with our foster care advocate from the Texas Baptist Home this morning.
She came for a pre-service visit of our house to be sure we have everything inline for our official home study. Laurie called and said everything checked out OK.
All we needed before our official visit from CPS is to purchase a pack-n-play and car seat to be prepared in case we get a call in the middle of the night saying there’s a child or two waiting for us to bring to our house.
So Laurie’s out doing some shopping and we’re crossing our fingers that CPS will come the week directly after Christmas for their visit. If everything works out we could be certified as foster parents by the first of the year.
In addition, Laurie’s just finished stripping, sanding and re-painting a dresser for the nursery. It’s a dresser that she had as a child and her mom did as well. That makes two dressers she’s redone for the room.
So we’re that much closer! Thanks for all your support and prayers!
