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!

Haven't updated on Lil Peanut for a while.  He's still here.  Growing big and strong.  Last weighed he was up to 11lbs 11.8 ounces.  He goes back for a well check on Tuesday.  I have been in contact with his family member down south and she sent pics of his twin.  They're identical.  The twin is a bit bigger but everyone thinks that the reason mom left Peanut here is because he was the weaker one.  So glad he is going to family who is loving and excited to get him.  Court is this week.  We'll see if they make any progress on the 1CPC.  I've heard it can take anywhere from UP TO 6 months to a year to move him down south to be with his twin.  He has a sweet smile (you can see here) and he is really starting to make great eye contact.  He 'found' his hands and 'talks' to them constantly.  HIs schedule is a bit more predictable now and he is sleeping through the night for the most part.  So glad we got to be a part of his life, however long it takes the system to find where he belongs.
