We had our first possible placement call today!!

We received our first placement call today! Exactly two weeks after we were licensed! We were called about 2 different placements! Both placements would be for a newborn baby! Holy Cow!! Both were still in the hospital waiting to be discharged.

First situation, birthmom and baby tested positive for drugs We decided no on this situation due to testing positive for drugs and for a few other reasons.

Second situation, , baby was removed due to parents having a long history with DHS and a few other reasons. When we called back to say yes, they have found another home already. Darn it!

We both have been so excited to get our first call and when I got the message at on my cell...I think I screamed. Yes, I was at the office. When I called Andy, he said ok, I'm cleaning the carpets. It took a few minutes for it to hit him...he was very cute! When I called him back to tell him that they found another foster to adopt home, he was bummed. He said..I even made a list for what we need at Babies R Us! Have I mentioned lately how much I adore my hubby??

I'm just excited that we got our first call even though it didn't work out!!
