Foster update

On Saturday, the kids, Jonathan and I went to visit the 4 month old baby girl I spoke of in a previous post. The shunt in her head and hole in her heart do not worry me or bother me. Unfortunately the chance of HIV becoming positive is not thrilling to me. (mother tested positive at her birth, but she did not. She has the anti-bodies in her, but is testing negative SO far. The anti-bodies will be out of her system by 18 months, but there is no guarantee she won't become positive before then) Lastly, her mother has severe mental illness which the neurosurgeon said this little girl has a high chance of inheriting some/all of her mental illnesses.
Even with all this, we still decided to go and visit her and see what we thought, or felt. She was pretty cute and acted fine while we were there, but I just don't think it's something I'm up for. I didn't feel anything towards her and I feel fine passing on this opportunity.

So we're waiting for another baby to be born. After my H.S. Reunion this weekend, I will be free to take one. I'm hoping for Monday or soon there after! (since our phone is ringing off the hook anyway) Only down side, can't leave the county for about 45 days (during the investigation) BUT we have been waiting all summer to take one and so if we can't leave the county till mid September, so be it. I am not waiting any longer!
