I can’t give any details because of privacy, but we might, maybe, possibly have Sprout’s 8-year-old sister joining us. But it’s foster care, so who the heck knows.
It’s complicated. The agency has put in a petition. The court date is while we are on vacation 10 1/2 hours away from home. The agency doesn’t really plan placements much in advance. So while we have asked for this sister to come to us, we have zero way of knowing if that will happen.
I’m feeling anxious and fidgety while packing for vacation. Will we come home early in a mad dash to return and pick her up? If so that will stink because while we have a trundle bed we can put her on temporarily we’ll need a new twin bed and dresser for her. I hate the thought of a kid coming into a space that feels “temporary.” And we are spending our cash on this vacay and finding the cash for the bed and dresser will be… interesting. But I don’t want to order them now because it may not happen at all.
I’ve been doing this for 6 1/2 years but this situation is making me feel like an inexperienced newbie for some reason. I’m all at sixes and sevens. And all we can do is wait and see what unfolds.
