Grants, Foster Care, Come ON, Illinois!

22 Oct

Tomorrow, I go in for another appointment with Dr. B.  I’m expecting the IVF talk.  Yikes.  Although he’s out of town, Jeremy is going to conference call in.  It feels very professional. 😉  I think I’m going to be able to keep from yelling.  Maybe.

Tonight, I started filling out paperwork for an IVF grant.  It’s due in November, and they decide within a couple weeks.  So Dr. B will also get handed three pages that he needs to fill out and get back to me.  He’s going to fill it out.  I’ll call his office daily if I need to.  This lady wants a baby. Like 2 years ago…

I figured this was a good grant to start with.  It’s quick and gives me a good taste of grant writing and if it’s something we want to continue with.  It can’t hurt, so why not.

As for foster care… I called the bureau office two weeks ago, one week ago, and I’ll be calling again tomorrow.  State of Illinois, I thought you needed foster parents!!!!!!!  I think we’ve decided on most of the details, but I’m going to wait until I hear from them to share.  So send good vibes and prayers!

More tomorrow.  When I actually know something useful. =/
