One major hurdle cleared, one task complete, one task remains; advice requested

Today we were told Rosie's separation from her siblings is complete. We have also completed reading the case file.

Now on to our collaterals--aka the interviews with her current foster parents and therapists and ask them questions. Trust me, we have a few, but they are really just to help us figure out how we'd parent her. Of course, something shocking could be revealed.

There could be another step we aren't aware of.  Yet we're being optimistic and caution is ebbing away slightly.

I'm waiting to hear back from the Minneapolis school district and set up a meeting with them. Then we need to look at private schools and charter schools. Schools are really overwhelming to me currently.

I continue compiling the Amazon wish list, and had a couple of great links suggested to me for books by a friend. I'd love any advice on board games, playstation3 games, etc., that a 4th grader might like.

Also, any tips on how to fit in exercise about 4 days a week when parenting are also appreciated.

I'm so excited for you guys! It's hard to believe that many of the hurdles are gone and that you are preparing to be parents of this beautiful 4th grader :) I'll continue to pray things go smoothly for all three of you during this transition and that no other surprises come along the way!
