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!

SURRENDER!!!!!
So, on Tuesday, the agency worker said that he saw bio mom walking down the street in front of the agency office. He ran outside and tracked her down. She said she wanted to surrender. He asked her if she'd be willing to come into D*S*S for a meeting with him and the county worker. Surprisingly, she followed through and was at her apartment yesterday when he went to pick her up for the arranged meeting. He said she was a bit teary eyed in the car while she spoke about Sprout. At the meeting, they spoke about bio mom's conditions for the surrender and both workers explained that it would have to be approved through us. So, we're a step in the right direction. They also spoke about...

Thought I'd be happier...
Found out some huge news today and I thought I'd be more content. I just feel more upset. I know that I have some God-given desires and I PRAY that God can make something beautiful out of this wonderful mess that I am.

3 weeks...
Today marks 3 weeks since Sprout last saw his bio mom. I'm sure this is a glimpse of what our future will be like as a forever family. Can't wait.
I've some time composing a letter to my 7-year-ago self. The woman who couldn't wait to foster and hopefully adopt. Will share later on...
I've been blogging daily over at the other blog. Trying to keep specific details about everything that's going on. Sprout is doing really well. He is starting to speak more and more. TONS of fun! I am truly enjoying EVERY minute with my little nature boy.

So sad :(
I lost the piece of paper that had all the information about the baby with the broken collar bone so I called his worker (since the agency home finder is out on medical leave). He said that the baby is being moved AGAIN. If you remember, the reason I was going to take the baby was because he was being moved after only being in care for a few weeks. The family that he was originally placed with was a new foster family. Now, he is being moved again. I told him I was willing to be a resource... We'll see tomorrow.
