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!

Doc

Instead of calling her 'Leah'...I've decided on the blog name 'Doc' for this new little one.  Not only does she have medical needs but she also reminds me of the Disn*ey character Do*c McS*tuffins.  Her diagnosis is Complicate Single Ventricle,  Heterotaxy syndrome, Scoliosis, Restrictive lung disease and asthma. Basically, she was born with only part of her heart.  Due to her heart issues, she is TINY. Like 29 pounds and the size of an 18 month old. She has a LOUD mouth and strong feet when she's stomping in her tantrums though. She was moved here from another foster home and will most likely be returned home to bio mom.  She screams when she doesn't get her way and she tantrums often. She is constantly fighting with Sprout but school starts in a week and by then we should have a normal routine.  Hoping I last that long...PRAY FOR ME. Lol. 

P.S.- My 4 year old Sprout starts his 2nd year of pre-school one week from today. He'll take the bus and be there every day for 2 1/2 hours.  Time flies...
