Call #1

We got our first call yesterday on a child.

My phone rings all day long at work and I never know who it'll be (no caller ID at work). When I answered, I heard our case worker's voice on the other end. My heart stuttered a bit. She wanted to talk to us about a very preliminary case involving a 7 year old boy. He has been in foster care since March 2008 due to neglect. He had a very severe injury when a big screen TV fell on him. How could something like that happen???

He is completely healed from his injury and the only lasting effect is that he has to wear glasses. DH and I both wear glasses! His CW says he is a very normal, healthy boy and he is not aggressive. He has been diagnosed with ADHD. So many very active, healthy children in America have been labeled ADHD that I'm not worried a bit about that!

His CW says he would do well with a very attentive family. Being an only child would be good for him. I didn't ask how he is with animals but I'll have to find that out.

I have many more questions to ask her but there is time. I asked her to schedule a meeting:)
