Thank you, dear friends, for your good thoughts and wishes. They were heart warming for me and I'm sure every single one of them helped hubby and me in our meeting this morning.
It went so well, so much better than I had dared to hope and I left the meeting feeling like I was walking on a cloud!
Without going into a long drawn out story, hubby and I have decided to offer our home to Kristy, who is a crown ward of the Toronto Children's Aid. Its been an uphill battle, and this morning was a make or break meeting with a supervisor and Kristy's case worker.
We've finally been given the go-ahead with the supervisor's blessing! The next step for us is to go through the foster parenting process - home assessment, background checks, interviews, training, which they will expedite in order to place Kristy with us before her current foster mother closes her home.
So if all goes well with the next few steps, we will have Kristy as our foster daughter by the end of June! So keep those good thoughts coming our way for us and for Kristy, please!!

Oh HOORAY!!!!
When I read your earlier post, I had an inkling a child might be involved (but that's also just the way my mind runs). I am so happy for ALL of you. Good luck with the next steps!
Sending lots of hugs and congratulations!!!
What a wonderful thing to do Wendy! Not only to share your home, but your time and love with a child that needs it. I wish every good thing that you need to get this accomplished. Hugs to you and your DH and family :)
Wendy, that is uplifting news!
It's good to know there are lots of special people out there, willing to go that extra mile for someone else. I hope the rest of the process is smooth sailing.

Having someone to love is FAMILY
Having both is a BLESSING.'
I received your blog space from AnnMcD.I stitch with her on Thursdays And I believe we met at her house awhile back.
Your news is wonderful and so we pray for the next steps to go well for you. Look forward to reading your Blogs in the future. I just started to comment on Blogs so I'm new.
All the best to your family.
