I love love what you are doing. I'm not in a place to foster right now. But maybe down the road. I have done respite care for some foster children and I fell in love hard. I got very attached. I think because of that I was able to love them so much more then if I had thought about the future and about loosing them. I love how you are embracing them and loving them. Praying for your family.

Thanks for sharing.
I am sure that y...Great post! Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />I am sure that your unexpected meeting with the birth mom was so hard . . . so sad . . . so uncomfortable. But, you did well. You didn't blast her. You didn't preach at her. <br /><br />And . . . you pulled over the car when one of the Littles needed to know that you loved her. You could have waited until you got home. You could have asked her to stop crying. But, no, you pulled over . . . and loved her.<br /><br />You are doing an AWESOME job of loving every one of the Little Ones that the Lord has brought through your front door.<br /><br />I, too, never felt that I could do Foster Care. I couldn't imagine having to process the possible leaving. But, I gotta tell you (something I have told NO ONE). I think a LOT about Foster Care now. I won't be having any more bio. babies. :( I seriously cannot imagine adopting again. But . . . I know that I could take on some of the temporary cases, and pour my love into some Little Ones that need a place . . . for a day or two . . . for a weekend . . . for respite. My house seems nearly empty (with only 4 left at home). My heart has so much more love in it to give.<br /><br />Enough rambling . . . someday I may share this with my hubby, too. :)<br /><br />Love & Hugs!<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.com
