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!

So, Mami and Papi left yesterday afternoon. The week got kind of messy and went something like this... I got a call for respite from Saturday till Monday. I said yes. On Monday I got a call saying that family member is still in need of respite, can I keep them till Wednesday? I said yes. On Wednesday I got a call saying family member still needs respite till Friday...can I do it? I said yes. Are we seeing a pattern here? It was legit. Mami and Papi were here in May. It was one of those 10pm phone calls and pick up a W*LmaR*t. (Hence, the reason my kids think babies come from there!) After a few days of them here I asked if there were any other family members to take them and they were moved. I have just come to find out that GREAT grandma and GREAT grandpa are certified (foster parents) and have cared for all but 2 of their great grandchildren. These are some AMAZING people!!! Anyway, the babies (ages 11 mo and 2) are home with their family and I am happy for them...Now back to our regularly scheduled programming! :)

What a crazy life you have! But it must be nice having those babies around, even for a short period of time!
Sounds like you have been busy!
that's funny your kids think babies from W*LmaR*t. when ever our kids see a State Van, they think a baby is coming!
its the stork-mobile!
I remember those days! "Just one more day...." (although for me, it usually turned into adoption ;)
ps Thank you so much for your supportive comments and prayers.
