Today, I find myself catapulting into the world of foster care. While we have been preparing for this over the last few months, I didn’t expect it to happen today. I’m mixed with many emotions, sadness that little ones have to be taken from their parents, sadness that parents don’t have it together enough to parent and nurture their kids, a little anger over that as well, humbleness that we are actually a foster family, and are moving forward on this mission, excited to meet these little ones, fearful as this is our first time going at it this way…we have done respite in the past. We still have so much to do to prepare for little ones as our littlest one is now 13.
I pray that we will be everything we can be to anyone who enters our home for nurturing and love.
