I am now a seasoned foster mom - my husband and I received our license in October 2005, and we began taking placements in January 2006. This blog will be my way to share my story, to air my grievances, to share in the joys of the children we take in. We are licensed for three under 3 yrs old, and are currently full!

A new Little Man to our house?
When God works, He does it in utterly amazing ways! Recently, God has brought a Little Man into our lives - a 14-month old foster baby boy who has been in foster care since he was 9 days old. He's a very happy, healthy, well adjusted little blonde towhead with the most infectious smile! His foster parents are not interested in adopting, especially one this young (they are in their 60's). But they are a wonderful Christian couple who have been praying for just the right family for the Little Man. And through two different people, they have been directed to us. We got to meet him tonight, and of course, we just fell in love! The whole story is amazing, and when I have more time I'll tell the whole thing, but for now, it's just amazing! This is definitely a situation that dropped into our laps - this time, I chased no one or nothing to get this! If everything goes well, and I'm sure it will, he will be coming to live with us on June 4. The social worker believes it will still be 6 months or so before complete parental termination and adoption, but it is coming. I'm so excited!!
