I had some news this morning - I won't be put forward as a possible match for the single child I had enquired about as they have decided it is important to find a black family.
I've done a lot of thinking recently and I have decided that before I am matched for a long term placement I'd like to 'test the water' with a respite or short term placement. I mentioned this to my agency; they seemed happy and said they would keep me in mind if anything comes up.
I'm also going to take a break from looking for a child/children myself until after Christmas. I'm fed up waiting for a call (that never comes) and not knowing what's going on, so I'm going to forget about it for a while! I'm going to concentrate on enjoying this time with just my daughter and if I do get a call about a foster placement, well that will be a nice surprise!

Are you able to give any updates on how things are going for you? We finally got our approval and are making inquiries on children now. Your profile pic shows "3" so I'm wondering if you have a placement and are just too busy to blog! Yes?
I wish that was the case... apart from a couple of unsuccessful enqiries I've heard nothing about any children and have had very little communication from my agency since my approval apart from the occassional call or email to say they're still waiting/looking for a match. I hope things go much quicker for you!
