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!

Got a bit emotional when Sprout and I were looking out into the back yard (that has about 2.5 FEET of snow).  I was wondering if he was going to be here when the snow melted and the pool was open.  Or if he'd be here in the warmer weather to swing on the swings.  Bio mom thinks she's getting him back real soon.  Like in a few weeks.  But the agency worker assures me that it's WAAAY too early to think about reunification.  I've heard that story before...

he will be there quite a while, bio parents are often delusional. get comfy, he isn't going to leave a minute before he is supposed to.
