Well friends, it has been 11 months since we were put "back on the
list". We thought we were always on it since the adoption, but
apparently they had removed us after our adoption of Tinkerbell was
finalized. We did respite care for another foster family of a 2 year old
little girl back in February for a weekend. She was sweet, and has
since been returned to her mother. We then got a call the beginning of
June for a 5 year old girl who is an only child. Mom having too many
strangers into the home and Dad in jail...she was also with us for the
weekend. She was a little firecracker, and did not like our two youngest
children. She smashed Tinkerbell's head into the wall and said many
words not fit for even adult ears. She was returned to her grandmother
after we had her for 4 days...It was not the best placement for either
her or our family...She was the oldest child we had ever had placed with
us. At least it opened our eyes that we need to take in younger
placements to keep the peace for them and our children. Preferably
younger than Tinkerbell who will soon be four.
We are praying for
more children. We are allowed two more as per county regulations, but I
think the foster care director is biased because we already have four
children. Two calls in almost a year? Unheard of!!! The director is
young, married, and never wants children. Imagine that in her position!
Blessings my friends...Please pray that God sends us children who need
us the most!
