Homecoming

Just an update: My husband and I are licensed foster parents hoping to adopt a child under three. Everyone told us that it would be very unlikely that we could adopt a reasonably healthy child under three directly from the state of Pennsylvania. We were waiting to foster a child with the hopes of adopting but recent changes with the Department of Human Services have reduced the number of infants being placed into foster care. We got a call in June about a potential placement with a two-year-old boy who had been in foster care for 15 months and his parental rights were recently terminated. We have spent all of July meeting our new son and transitioning him into our home.
Long story, short, our two-year-old son is coming home tomorrow! It has been a chllenging month going from one child to two. Our three-year-old son has had to learn how to share and there have been some tears and tantrums (from kids and parents alike). But we are definitely getting used to each other and becoming a family. I will keep you all posted on how the next six months go before me move towards finalization.
