Two years ago, our family started the domestic adoption process in which we planned to adopt a healthy infant. As often is the case, the Lord had a different plan for us. Our perspective changed when we heard Him saying,
How Does Foster Care Affect Your Children?
Jami, I love the thought you explain so well of it’s not about a child for our family , but rather our family for a child. Totally reversal of priorities. Thankyou for sharing!
Hi Roberta! I was blown away when the Lord first gave me that change of perspective. I actually wrote it down and then read it again and said “wow Lord!” That was really the beginning when everything changed!
Thanks for your encouragement!
Jami~
thank you so much for sharing your heart. My sis & bro~in~love are fostering. they have 5 littles 11, 8, 4, 3, and 3 in their care right now. Two sibling groups. They are all so very precious. One sibling group 3 & 4 years old are looking like parental rights will be terminated. I have falled in love with these two littles and am hoping hubby and I can make them a part of our family if it comes to termination. In the meantime, I am just loving on them.
Blessings to you and your family,
Suzanne
Wow Suzanne, what a story. Thanks for sharing. May you feel His peace as the future unfolds. Foster care is so hard in that respect – you never know how long they will remain in your home. We’re dealing with similar issues here.
Bless you!
