[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 609234, member: 14557"] Good Afternoon everyone! We too have now entered safely to Friday afternoon and we are having a beautiful and warm, about 10 C/50 F autumn day. Marg, Huge Congratulations! I hope the little fellow will soon get better. We met our potential respite kids yesterday and at least from our part they are a match. We will hear at Monday if they think we are the match. Two kids, girl and boy, 8 and 5 years old. No huge special needs. Some emotional stuff with the girl and boy is diagnosed with our all time umbrella diagnosis F83, but according the mom doctors say it will likely change to turn to high-functioning asperger in next evaluation. After meeting him it is easy to believe. They do have also a sibling who has severe special needs and her respite care happens institutionally and youngest in the family is still very young, but has other parent he meets regularly. If the mom thinks we are the match we are asked to give lots of separate attention to kids and husband to spend lot of time with the boy. They would have liked both kids to have their own respite family but there is great shortage of respite families, so we with two adults and no young kids were considered to be the second best option. I'm rather excited. Have a nice day everyone! [/QUOTE]
