Yesterday, CAS called and informed us on the date we were waiting for. Amazingly enough, they called when they said they would call!! Tammy called to set the date for the "file disclosure" meeting.
This is the next meeting in CAS' timeline, wherein, all parties involved in the kids' lives, come together to share/disclose all info on the children: Foster Parents, Child and Youth Worker, Adoption Practitioner, CAS and us.
We wont hear anything we didn't already know (I don't think), but this will be our opportunity to hear and ask questions to their "mom" of two years (one of their ONLY constants), and their child and youth worker, whose known them the longest (3+ years). So... we're looking forward to that!
Obviously, we're anxious, and nervous, and I'm still scared but... it's ALL good, and normal. We continue to pray together, and life all of our anxieties up to God... we continue to praise Him for how quickly things can change - for the GOOD this time!!! and most importantly, we pray that these babies will be ready and willing to receive us as their parents...
So... before Jan 11, Marc and I have more work to do, our next project = preparing a WELCOME BOOK! this is a book about US, and our family and our Home... and this will be given to the worker and parent on the 11th, and presented to the children while Marc and I are away in India attending a wedding. This will help introduce the kids to US, to the puppies, to their surroundings, their sleeping quarters, eating area, tv area etc...
SO that's exciting!
Additionally, we will be (over the next week or so) introducing the idea of the kids, to our extended families.
So there will be a lot of discussing, planning, teaching etc to look forward to.
