I had to work late tonight so I couldn't go to meet our social worker but I had a great phone conversation with her today and we're going to start next week. I'm super excited. I also spoke to Austin today and he told me this:
Dear Cousins,
I will love you very much and I will be the best cousin I can possibly be. I feel like your mom (my Aunt Patti) will be a great mother. I remember when she took me to the empire state building I had a lot of fun. I didn’t like walking back to the car but maybe you will. I am excited to have new cousins that I could love and take care of. Even though I don’t know you yet I will be happy to meet you and I hope very soon. I want you to know you will be part of a family that will never hurt you.
Love your cousin Austin.
You're really going to enjoy your cousin Austin, he's awesome and loving and caring.
Here's a pic of Austin and I from last summer, when I went to pic him up at summer video game camp in Boston; I remember, all I kep saying was "I'm picking up Austin in Boston! LOL. :
Muito Amor,
Mommy
