Our first placement

A few weeks ago I received a call that the therapeutic foster care agency had received our license from the main office and they had a placement for us. A seventeen year old girl. My first thought was "Uhhh....what???". Not what we were expecting at all. This teen needed a home in our county to finish up the school year and graduate. So, after lots of questions and discussions we decided to go for it. Teen arrived the next day. First day was ROUGH!!!! But, we survived and things went well for 2 weeks. This last week has been different. A lot of moodiness and not talking. I can imagine she has a lot going on in her head and the first two weeks she was trying to give us a good impression. Maybe now she is more comfortable?? Or maybe she's trying to see if we will kick her out?? I don't know. But, Abbie, the now 12 year has always been a moody child and moodiness doesn't bother me!! I pray that she becomes comfortable and happy and keeps working on her goals. : )
