Tomorrow!

Tomorrow's the big day for the Dream Team. They get new parents!

I have to admit, we're all really hoping that we get chosen. I don't know how we size up next the the other 2 families. Maybe they make more money. Maybe they have a bigger house. Maybe they're childless. Maybe they're bi-racial (the Dream Team is bi-racial).

We do have strong points, though: We've done foster care off and on since 2001. We've done respite care for medically fragile infants. We currently have a bi-racial foster son who we love and who is doing beautifully in our home. Micah is home 4 days per week. Nana is just across the way and always ready to lend an extra set of hands. And we've been waiting for nearly a year.

I'm hoping we look good on paper. Because potential families don't get to go to this meeting, their caseworker represents them and brings a photo album to show snippets of home life. It's a real shame I don't take many photos :) Luckily we have a really good worker who professes to enjoy the tangled and chaotic Committee process. I think she'll do an awesome job representing us tomorrow. She's certainly seen us through thick and thin this past year!

So, please add to your prayer list:

A set of great parents for the Dream Team,

and please also pray for my friend who just had surgery today. 6 complicated pregnancies and equally complicated deliveries eventually caught up with her. Time for some damage control. We're praying she mends well and quickly.

And that she REMEMBERS NOT TO LIFT ANYTHING. Lori.
