The Journey Begins....

Well, here we go. Janelle saw a referral today for a 3 month old baby girl. (Hence the pinkish font!). She was working out in the field and so all she could tell from the email was her age and gender. Janelle emailed and texted Matt saying what do you think, are you ready for this?! He said let's go for it, so the wheels are in motion.

Nothing is ever written in stone in foster care, so until she is actually at our house, we won't be sure she will be placed with us. Currently she is hospitalized for injuries. It sounds pretty horrible, honestly one of the worst Janelle has seen in awhile. But at least for Janelle, this one just felt "right". Time will tell. There is a meeting tomorrow to determine if she will go to foster care and/or if there are relatives who might be options. As of today, it is looking like she will come to us at least for a little while.

We're nervous and excited. Janelle may get to be a "mom" for the first time on Mother's Day! We will keep you posted...
