To teen, or not to teen...

So, a couple of weeks ago we went to an adoption teleconference sponsored by the state. The children would all congregate at a facility in our area, and there were satellite facilities around the state where adults looking to adopt could gather and interview and interact with the children through the TV. We almost didn't go, as there were no children that were in our "age range" that were supposed to be there, but decided to go to see how it all worked, and you just never know who you might meet!

Well, we met a cw who had brought a young teenager, who we spent some time with and we have inquired about him. We are waiting to hear back from his cw, who has been out of town until today. Our cw, of course, has been gone for 12 days now, and completely unreachable, not that she is very reachable when she is in town!

We have grown VERY frustrated with DFCS and the whole "process" (which is a term I think they use to label "inefficiency") and have spoken with a couple private foster agencies, who I think we will be switching to if this child doesn't come through. We shall see...
