I received an e-mail from our casemanager yesterday asking us if we were going to their foster parent appreciation dinner next week. Hmmm.... My first response was no, we're not foster parents yet but then realized that would probably not be the best response. Since work is still crazy for me, there is no way we'd be able to go even if we wanted to. Plus, I can only imagine how conversations would go.
person: Oh, tell us about the kiddo placed with you.
us: well, we're not even licensed yet so we don't have a child placed with us. We're not foster parents yet.
person: Oh...um, ok well hope you have a good time a the foster parent appreciation dinner.
Maybe I'm over thinking it but I imagine that there will be lots of conversations about the kiddos that are placed with the foster parents, funny stories, etc. I don't know if that would be the right place for us right now. We are so anxious to be licensed, so excited to be matched with a kiddo, and very disappointed that we're in this holding pattern. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that they do this dinner and nice that they invited us. I think I'm just all in all frustrated right now. Plus, when I received the e-mail she had replied to an e-mail that I had sent her with 2 questions and she didn't even respond to the 2 questions. Oh...and she still hasn't. I know they're busy but sometimes just a little communication can go a long way...even if she doesn't know the answer. "I don't know the answer but will see what I can find out"
*Sigh* I guess whatever is supposed to happen will....eventually.
