In an effort to make things easier and keep these boys together. I TURNED DOWN placement of baby girl!
Part of me wants to cry....no sob. But no I turned down the placement to keep these siblings together. Why did I have to? No one could agree on it, it being the license exception. The placement coordinator would have fought for the exception had I wanted her to.
Part of me is OK with it all though. I really do love these boys and I think we can help them a lot.
I always said I was not up for straight fostering. That I couldn't handle it at all. I didn't WANT to have kids for the unknown amount of time. Yet here I am doing just that and passing up a newborn adoptive placement??? What is wrong with me?!?!?
About Me

- Here I am now... The mother of 4 wonderful boys, present and former foster mom to seven boys!! True at times there is an overload of testosterone and fart humor...but I muddle through well enough hehe. I am spoiled too, there is no lack of gentlemen opening doors, car doors etc... of course that balances out with no lack of bad aim in the bathroom! The news that shocked the world....? We are expecting a baby girl in March 2008!! I am a stay at home mom. I work more now than I did when I held a "real" job. Hubby is in the Navy. I cannot convey how proud I am of him. He is truly the man of my dreams and a better husband than I ever thought I deserved. Well that is the general overview of me ;) enjoy the blog. Don't know something? want to know? ASK. I love comments to my ramblings too.

Oh no! I'm so sorry you had to make this choice.
It's crazy how kids grow on you, even when they are here for short times or unknown times, huh?
I'm really sorry that you had to make this choice at all.
it is crazy quite crazy. I took in sibling #3 with being told there would be an exception. Then I took him in and things changed. But I really do feel that they need to be together and no matter how painful I know (maybe hope) I am doing the right thing.
The placement coordinatior was a bit amazed I think. Heck I am too. She did say though that I am top on the list for another newborn/baby placement. We will see.
In my heart and soul though I know I am doing right by these boys.
Because you love what you have. You want whats best for the boys youve got instead of the unknown.
Wow, what an incredibly selfless choice, I applaud you for keeping them together when so many don't.
