Good News!

Today our social worker called and we have our conference call scheduled for Friday! We'll be able to ask the foster parents anything we'd like to know about our children. Of course, I've got a list a mile long. There are so many things I want to know ahead of time so we can already have our home ready and make things as comfortable and normal as possible.

*Things to know*
  • The children will be coming into a new time zone which means D and I will be "adjusting" with them for some time, I'm sure.
  • If I haven't mentioned it, they have been in a primarily spanish speaking foster home. Being as young and impressionable as they are we're feeling that we may have to re-teach them a lot of the english language they've lost.
  • N has been 'daignosed' with Autism. Anyone out there reading an expert or parent of an autistic child?
  • About the autism, first of course we trust God in all things, second, we feel part of his 'diagnosis' stems from the fact that he's a 2 year old without a strong language foundation and 2nd, he's the only boy in the house of girls and part of foster mom's concern was that "he doesn't play like the girls do." Well, neither do my boys.?!.

We appreciate all the prayers still going up for us. We're going to be in 3 different time zones Friday as this all takes place. 3pm in Oregon, 5pm in Panama City Fl and 6pm in West Palm Beach Florida where our social worker is. WOW. I'll be in touch.
