Lisa: Surprise! We got a call for a possible placement today, and we didn't even let our social worker know we were ready to try again!
There was a 3-year old girl who needed a home and was probably able to bypass the usual process and would go straight to permanent custody. Sadly I broke down and cried just hearing the message, not because the little girl needed help but because I kept thinking of Nate and how much I miss him. Clearly I was not ready emotionally. Aaron thought we needed more time to unpack and taking this placement was too soon. So we made our first decline. I felt guilty for a day or two, thinking the girl may be homeless somewhere without our help. But we didn't get a call back so all is assumingly well.
