A Daughter?

I now know why we haven't received anymore placement calls. Our worker called us last week to check up on us and told her to let us know when we wanted to get back on the list. I told her I thought we were still on it. She said that after her families get a placement, she takes them off the list until we are ready for another one. I told her I wanted another baby, but not sure when, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity. She suggested letting the workers in our parish know that if an infant comes into care to call us. She said it would be easier than transporting them to another parish for the visits(yes, we have to bring to child to family visits). I mentioned having to wait on So Young to leave anyway.

I guess it's a good idea. I won't get called for every placement, but we can pursue ones we hear about and may be interested in.

Anyway, back to the subject, Saturday morning we got a call telling us we would have no nurse Monday. With our very few available sitters, we called baby N's prior foster mom. She lives about an hour and a half away and asked if she'd like to keep him Sunday night and we'd pick him up after work Monday afternooon. She said she'd be glad to keep him during the day, but had recently got 2 other babies and could not keep him overnight too.

Ok, getting to the daughter part, I promise. She told me that she was getting a 1 year old little girl today, poor prognosis, and asked if we'd like to take her(of course, we'd have to talk to her caseworker). She's taking the girl to help out, but is really gonna be strapped taking care of 3 babies.

Then I started pondering. . .

We're already trying to get So Young another host family lined up(due to her sanitary issues with baby N and her pain in the ass father).

If L lets me go ahead and quit...

It would be like having twins...

Just sold the jet ski, use the cash for girl baby stuff..

I could give her a bottle...


Why is it that now that I have access to being a mommy, I want more kids than I originally thought I wanted?


Don't worry. If anything happens with the potential placement, I'll let you know!
