We received a call the day after the match meeting took place and we were told were not picked for the little girl from Texas. I was dissapointed, but at the same time I know its for the best.
So, now we are waiting to hear about our two kids from FL. They are waiting on a home study to be completed on the grandmother of the kids....
Which leads me to this...a 'blogger friend' of mine was recently denied by DHS to adopt...I don't know the details, but from what I can gather from what I know of her and have read on her blog, she seems like a very genuine, sweet and trustworthy person. I don't know anything about the grandmother of these kids in FL either, but I think its probably safe to assume that, whatever parenting skills the kids mom had, she learned them from her own mother...so, if this grandmother is approved to adopt these kids, why isn't my blogger friend? What is wrong with this system? I just want to scream! Not only is it taking FOREVER, people who want children more than anything in this world are told they can't adopt for some ridiculious reason, while parents who have abused and abandoned their children multiple times are given chance after chance to do right. I guess I always thought this entire process was for the benefit of the children, but I guess I might be wrong...

Guess what.....
The meeting was rescheduled! Who would have thunk....@@
It is now set for tomorrow...so by tomorrow we'll at least have some answers to our questions since we really know nothing about her. But we won't know which family is chosen until later in the week or even sometime next week.
As far as the regular family life goes, we're of course getting ready for Christmas and trying to figure out our living situation for January. We're hoping and praying that our house will be finished before Jan 1st but the weather has been crummy which has delayed everything a bit. So, we might be spending a few nights at my sisters house or renting another month at the apt, depending in how far into January it goes.
Its coming along nicely though! They started putting siding on yesterday so it looks like a real house now!! The electric and plumbing is all in, so next is the walls - yay!!
