Since our social worker came back from her temporary leave, things have moved at a head-spinningly quick clip. Our temporary license for Foster Care arrived two weeks ago. Then, last week, as the husband and I were packing up for a small vacation, we got the call for our official inspection. Traditionally (and our temp. license paperwork said something to this effect) the time between temporary licensing and the official inspection by the health department can take 60 - 90 days. But, we suspect since it's so close to the beginning of a new school year, they're trying to speed up the process right now.
Or maybe they just have nothing better to do. If that means we get through the process faster - so be it.
So, our inspection is tomorrow and thank goodness there's jut a bit of cleaning/organizing to do to get ready for such a thing.
In the mean time, we've also been reviewing placement opportunities. We said yes to one - a respite care option for a couple of days next week - but it's already fallen through. We're considering a few others right now. (Which I should probably respond to today.)
On top of that, our social worker was also able to gain some traction on a few of the adoption options we talked about long before she went on leave. We're trying to press forward with one girl (11) at the moment, though of course as we're interested - so is another family. So, I don't know what's going to happen there, but I'm hopeful.
