We met them

We had our meeting on Monday and are still waiting to find out if it's a for sure thing.  We live 2 hours from them, and the adult sister wants to keep in contact.  She is not 100% on board because of how far we are, and she does not drive much. 
Yesterday we discussed our view and our options with the agency, and a contact order was sent to the other county and to be presented to the sister.  If she accepts our terms, it's just a few more weeks of waiting till we can get them here. 
The kids....
We feel that their "issues" are way within what we can handle, and since we support each other, neither of us should become too overwhelmed.  A lot of those said issues appear to be all because of their lifestyle and lack of proper parenting.  Obviously we will have an adjustment period, but I'm going to keep the therapy schedule going the way we need it to, and if we need more, that's why I'm a stay at home mother.  I am available to do whatever it takes. 
We took Kristopher along, and all 3 got along amazingly.  The girls are advanced, and that helps a lot for him to have someone to play with that can relate instead of so much babyish behavior that he sees day to day with me babysitting.  All 3 were upset when our 2 hour meeting had ended. 
Based on the meeting, and reading the psych reports on each child, I feel that I can do this and am 100% committed to long term with them.  They are high chance of this being an adoptive case after a year of good progress.  This is what we want and would be working to get.  The only set back in the picture is the involvement of the older sister, who wants to keep in contact.  Which I understand, and we are willing to some extent, but not to the frequency of what she is asking. 
Next meeting will be on the 1st, where we've invited them to come up for a cookout, to see our home, and for me to take them on a mini tour of the area (all to make the sister comfortable) and they will get to see the school they would be going to.  After that, Aug. 3rd the lawyers meet to decide.  School starts on August 27th, so we're looking to get them here, and semi settled into a new routine with 2-3 weeks to spare before school starts.  I really really reallllly want this case to work out.  I feel very strongly about this, and feel this is the reason we were brought forward to do this whole process.  And the fact we've invested the last pretty much month into planning and trying to get meetings in order, I hope that it is a good sign.  As usual, the wait just sucks.  I do not do well with this waiting game.  I don't know how much I can plan for, or prepare without rushing around all crazy when they do get here.  I did sneak a few girly clothes in, and hope that they get to use them.  If not, and we don't end up with girly placement later, I can pass the stuff down to the one I babysit, so it's not all a waste.  I just really hope that it all works out and we can get them.  I'm constantly thinking and hoping that the sister realizes it's in the best interest, and says she's ok with this.....
