Our journey with fostering has almost began. We had a social worker come out to our home on Monday and meet with us and the kids and get a feel for what kind of children will be placed with us. We discussed many things in depth and i felt so much more at peace after she left. Our paperwork is nearly completed and we are getting very close to being placed. We were almost given the opportunity to care for 2 boys ages 3 and 1 but provinical requirments dont allow more than 3 children under the age of 3. Then we got a phone call the next day about two girls, ages 5 & 4 also sisters, and we were very excited about this opportunity but it also fell through. So, we wait, and we lean on God. I know that God is hand picking these children to be placed in our home and to us, thats really exciting. I know this is going to be one of the hardest things i will ever go through in my life. Experiencing issues, attatchment, love, tears, joy, and then..goodbye. But, "If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it.."
Until then, its fun getting ready and preparing our home and our hearts for these children and the amazing opportunity to give them a small piece of their life they may have never been given the chance to experience before.

thats exciting! I am so happy to hear about more foster homes- as there is such a need for loving christian homes. I am curious- which agency are you under? I hope you get placement soon and one that is a good fit for your family.
