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!

Growing...

So, it's been a few days more than a month since the adoption has been final.  I don't think my son {smile} got the memo that he is supposed to be mama's baby for a while because it seems that he is growing up super fast!  In the past month, we have said goodbye to the paci, cut down {drastically} on his naps and is into EVERYTHING a 2 year old is.  Well, even though it's age appropriate I still want him to stay, well, LITTLE!  His vocabulary is growing faster than HE is!  Sprout plays well with others and is an extremely friendly little boy.  Believe it or not, we are still recovering from last months whirlwind of the adoption day, adoption party, Sprout's 2nd birthday, Christmas and a house full of people visiting for the festivities.  To be honest, I have been busy enough with 'real life' to worry about foster care.  Our house is currently still certified but our extra cribs are empty and will probably remain that way...at least for a while.  Many decisions need to be made before it's time to re-certify the house.  We have plenty of time for that...right now...I'm off to spend the day with my son!!! {smile}  :)
