Christian is the first one I discovered on the list. He's in a group home in Tampa. I have not made contact with his case worker.
Tommie we are not sure about. He's young and we don't get a good feel for him from the little they say.
We fell in love with Parris' photo online, but the fact that he just turned 13, is adorable but still on the list makes us think he has issues. He is only 11 month older than the twins. We hope for the new child to be more of Jasmine's "buddy."
Antwan has become our favorite choice. He goes to church. He sings gospel music, acts and wants to run track. He sounds like a perfect match.
The problem is that he doesn't want to leave his county.
Parris' caseworker called us today and asked us to send our home study. She can't tell me anything about him until she gets our home study, but I did tell her I have twins about a year younger and she said that wouldn't be a problem.
We have had a situation come up suddenly that we need to deal with before we decide, so please pray for that situation to be resolved.
We also have the situation with Kayla to deal with when she gets home from camp. I really feel she will work through the stealing and lying. We will be constant and supportive while that happens. Kaleb too. He just wasn't in on the last incident so does not have to go to teen court. Kayla's worker would like him to be there though so he can see what goes on. I am hoping the five weeks at mission camp will have an impact on them.
That's all our news for now.
In the next post I'll talk more about our trip, and the one Rick and Tyler are on right now.
