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!

***UpDATE*** I guess I was 'stood up' by D*S*S. She never called me back. I'm not sure if the kids came into care or not... With my luck...I'll be getting a call at 10pm asking if they can drop them off...

So I'm sitting out in the sun. Phone by my side. (Yes...I learned my lesson!) I'm enjoying the moment. Kids playing. Husband working on a boat trailer. The phone rings. I was thinking how nice it would be to be getting "the call". It was D*S*S. Wow. That Blessed Mother thing really works! (I'm kidding. I haven't found time to pray to her...yet!) :) The home finder was on the other end asking if we'd be willing to do respite for a 5 year old and her 3 year old brother. A million thoughts went through my mind but I said yes. If they are coming...they'll be here in an hour. So, I'm throwing a load of laundry in and getting bedding ready. I have no clue if the boy is in a crib or bed. I feel like a new mom. My kids are thrilled. I'll let you know what happens.
