As of Monday, our foster/adoption license was officially updated. We are now on the open home list which means that we can get a phone call at any minute for a kiddo to come into our home!
I have to remind myself that this may not have the outcome it did with A. We may very well be a temporary safe place for these kiddos until their parents or a family member is able to take them. I expect myself to get anxious when I think about it, but I don't. I'm much more secure this round. I have a much better understanding of how the system works and what our part is in this whole situation. I know that if a child returns to their parents or family member, that we will have done our very best at showing them unconditional love and care for as long as they are with us. I also know that when they leave, I will always and forever have my baby girl. I can see God's plan for us so much clearly than before - although I also understand that at any moment our lives can shift directions without any warning. His path brought us baby girl FIRST so that we knew that we would have the strength to continue in our ministry of fostering other children.
Hopefully I will have updates for you soon, but until then I have prayer requests! Please pray that when we receive the phone call, that we are given the wisdom to make the best decision for the child when it comes to placement, pray that we become closer to God throughout the waiting process so that we are ready for the next step, pray for the babies in foster care so that they will be comforted and safe while in an unknown environment.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN:
