Today I have a lot of prayers and praises.
We are meeting with the special needs daycare for Older Boy this morning to see if it is a good fit for him. They won’t enroll him without meeting him first, but the intake meeting is the first step. Pray Service Coordinator will be able to answer all of their questions and Foster Care Specialist and I will learn a lot more about Older Boy and what to expect. Praises everyone who needed to attend was able to clear their schedule since 11am was the only time available at the center.
Pray Middle School will have a good fit for Older Boy and his Individual Educational Plan (IEP). Praises that since Older Boy has an IEP, School will bus him everywhere he needs to go. As a result it isn’t such a concern which school he lands at. Just that is it the “right” school for him. Praises both boys are being registered in school today. Both boys will also be able to meet their teachers before school starts, since Tuesday is a teacher work day.
Continue to prayer the boy’s current environment stays positive and healthy for them.
Pray I would quickly learn the boy’s triggers for Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and I will learn to react in situations when the disorders are present. In doing research on these topics I found a great blog written by a single woman parenting a now young adult with RAD and ODD, but also a number of other diagnoses. Her attitude and observations make me smile.
We found appropriate daycare for Younger Boy where there is an APPROPRIATE room for his homework and they will provide transportation to and from school. It is about a block from our house so there won’t be a lot of extra car time for any of us.
Both boys have AMAZING role models for their mentors.
Praises my job is flexible enough for me to take the right days and times off to make this transition as smooth as possible.
I am so thankful for the amazing people in my life who have been supportive of this endeavor and continue to lift me up and pray for me.
Mom and Dad worked tirelessly to get the boy’s room painted, rearranged and ready for them. I can’t say thank you enough.
