The Call About You

On Thursday April 30th, 2014 I pulled out two magazines from Good Housekeeping the November and December issues that I had kept meaning to read get the recipes from. I thought that day was just going to be a boring lunch I had thrown a bunch of stuff together to eat.  When I went to my desk to grab something I heard my coworker say on the phone "no she's at lunch." When she hung up she said to me you better check your phone sounds personal. I go to get my cell phone and see 897 knowing that is the state. So when I answer and hear our caseworker. "I've got a possible placement. She's a few months." When she was finished informing me I remember saying "ok" she laughed "call your husband and then call me back." I said "no I wasn't saying okay as in okay yes I was saying okay as in I was taking it all in." No matter how many times you are called it's always that rush that feeling like this maybe it this is what you have prepared for what you have been hoping to happen possible situations that will complete your forever family. No telling no fast forwarding no knowing for sure that this will work out. I try to remember what we were told in class I try to remember advice given and I try to be realistic. We got a call once before we said yes but the situation changed. That happens. It prepares you and makes you think about what you should have on hand or what resources you can call upon. What you may need to improve on. I call the hubby and I get voice-mail where is he? where could he be? this is important. I continue to call until finally we connect. "i got a call of a possible situation..." then I fill him in and at the end ask "what do you think?" We agree Yes. I call the caseworker back and she says she will call with more information later.
