Foster Care Referral's come at all hours

I am sitting in my office at 8 pm, following through on a foster care referral that happened at 4:40 pm; there followed a sequence of phone calls leading to an acceptance of a foster care placement for two siblings, but the transportation has not been completed as of this hour. Kim has come back in, and got the intakes ready, looked for some temporary clothes, and gone back home to wait the call. One of our foster homes was called and accepted the kids and now awaits the placement. Its any hour of the day that we might get a call, and the sketchy background information leaves you with lots of anxiety and "what if's" as you anticipate settling some kids into a foster home late into the evening.
