I talked to Agency Worker on Friday. She got in touch with the girls' worker's supervisor, who told her that the girls are definitely available for adoption, and they are accepting home studies for them. They aren't advertising to families yet because there is a national adoption day in November that they are putting all their efforts toward right now.
So we will finish our training on Saturday, and our home study will be submitted. Then, CPS will advertise the girls at some point, and other couples will also send in their home studies. THEN, CPS will select 4 or 5 of the best matches for the staffing. THEN Agency Worker will attend the staffing and try to convince CPS that we are the best family for the girls.
She thought that the soonest we might get them would be around Christmas or New Years, and that's only IF we get them.
SIGH. I was glad to get news, but I'm going to be pretty disappointed if we waited all this time for these girls and then we don't get them and have to start over. We could have already had kids by now.
Still, God knows what he's up to, even if I don't, and maybe if I don't get the girls there was a reason he wanted me to wait. Maybe my kids weren't ready yet. I don't know.
I just can't think about it any more right now.

Adopting is a surprisingly rough ride. Ours has been.
Sorry about this news and happy too, because it sort of has some sense of movement to it.
I'm very excited for you! We are all praying for your family - including the girls! Hang in there!
wow - i'm so glad things are happening finally with the girls. This is excellent news indeed, and definite answers to prayers. It is such agony waiting and wondering if these girls will be yours. I so understand - and the content of the training classes and difficult topics doesn't make it any easier. How many more classes do you all have until you are certified?
We are already certified for basic, and we have one more class to complete on Saturday that will update us to moderate.
