Learning to have patience is key with foster care.

After reading so many foster care blogs, I am slowly but surely realizing your case worker is a very important person.

We signed up to the process through a program in our state called The Call. We attended the interest meeting in February with hopes to attend the PRIDE training soon! The Call is an amazing ministry and is extremely organized in parts of our state, but it's just not quite there yet in our county.

We received an e-mail saying there were PRIDE trainings offered in June; unfortunately for us, we were going to be out of town both of those weekends. Another training was to be offered in September, and we were beyond excited to attend!

Two weeks prior to the first PRIDE training, it was cancelled, and rescheduled for November.

UGH!!! Enter tears!!!

and this is when a great caseworker is an answered prayer!!!! Luckily the sweet girl that is over the foster parents in our county, was able to get us into the state PRIDE trainings that occur over 5 Saturdays in the month of September.

So we are three down and we have two to go! It feels so close, yet I know we have a way to go! Very very excited!
