Making a difference...One Starfish at a time

Our family started fostering back in 2005. We have been blessed to love on many babies. There has been many twists and turns throughout our journey and in December of 2010 we were called for placement of a newborn baby boy. His biological mother worked a case plan for 18 months and after 23 months she surrendered her rights and we adopted 'Sprout' in December of 2012. Our faith has been tried and tested and we are still certain that God is faithful!

This really has captured what I've been feeling lately. I know that I can give up and go on with life as usual. Most of you who know me...know that's NOT who I am. I know that this is a God given dream and it WILL be fulfilled in HIS time and HIS way. So, I'll wait...


Worth the Fight

The days have faded into months,
The months grown into years.
The hopes and dreams we once held tight,
Have now been blurred by tears.
The aching, longing and desire are an endless and searing pain.
The time we've spent, the efforts endured
And nothing to show we've gained.
A baby is all we hope for and need,
An empty hole to fill.
In life we need that one missing
Piece to make things whole and real.
As we drudge along and pursue our dream,
We never must lose sight.
For all we hope to have in life,
There must always be a fight.
