Session Seven: Continuing Family Relationships. This session promotes understanding of permanency time frames and the importance of the “child’s clock” in making permanency decisions.
This class taught us the importance of placing the children in a permanent home as soon as possible. It is best for the children's development emotionally, physically, mentally etc... Obviously we would like them placed in our home as soon as possible, so we agree.
We have two classes left. One of the people in the class mentioned that she has already received her letter from Social Services in the mail and has already gone down to get finger printed for her back round check... so we are watching the mail like hawks (I am any way, hehe) and hoping to get ours soon. She turned her application in a week before we did, so I am expecting the letter any day now. Once we do that, we will be waiting for the call from our social worker to schedule our first visit for the homestudy.
Side Note: I just met a lady online who adopted through orange county social services and she got her placement (her children) within 2 months after completing her homestudy. She was blessed with a 4 year old boy and a 3 year old girl, and then (of course) the bio mom was pregnant again, and they took the infant - All within a couple of months... So there is hope... Yay!

I hope you receive that letter soon so they can start your homestudy. You are so close!
oh gosh kristi, it's hilarious to read your side note and have you call me 'a lady'! some times i still feel like such a little kid myself. Congrats on the letter, don't worry, she'll call back if she didn't get through!
