As some of you may recall Jason and I had been in the past year and a half looking at the possible kinship care of his sisters children, during that time I kept my blog private from family  and  when we thought that quite possibly that the Lord was not willing this of us,  we stepped back and began focusing on other things, like Jasons Deployment and now the home buying(which we close on September 4th :) and I allowed my blog to then be viewed by family members.

  Needless to say I recieved a call Monday noon(after many many months of hearing nothing but just updates of court stuff from family ) from the very person who is in charge of the kids file/case calling me to see if Jason and I were still interested in taking in the youngest sibling of the bunch to raise as our own. Without much thought, I said Yes, He then filled me in that this next week there is a appointment to which they will connect me via conference call to conduct a interview and to discuss the importance of placing the youngest child with a family they seem to feel he would be best placed with( thats us). We went on to discuss other things, like a scheduled home visit via the OK DHS( as the case and kids are in CA) and what it would entail. I let him know too that we were buying a home next week, and wondered if that would be a problem, He said no in fact he would wait to submit paper work with the DHS here in OK until after I let him know that we got moved into the new place. That was pretty much the phone call, I filled Jason in on the conversation and we discussed what would be ahead for us if this went forward. I feel ok about it....not stupid as I know the young guy to whom we may be raising has anger issues( he is 7) and why wouldnt he when so many things should have never happened to them kids. Jason was of course a lil bit worried about the costs, but I remember that a peace of Understanding came through me as I said Honey, the Lord will provide everything, I mean shoot we already shop thrift stores, and we have a garden and we plan to raise our own meat sources, I dont think an extra mouth will be all that bad, besides it would be a kinship adoption and he will get military benefits just like our kids. That helped ease his mind I think, as he would then later on tell me yea, I think we are the best option for him.
