We are officially licensed foster parents. I have no idea where this road will take us. How many twists and turns, ups and downs we will encounter. I suspect tears will be involved, as well as laughter. I just read the following quote on a blog that was written by a foster mom the night she picked up their first foster baby. I want to remember it. And live by it.
"How long will he be with us? Who knows! It could be a few more days or it could be a lifetime. What I have complete peace about it that my God has a perfect plan for his life and for whatever amount of time He allows him to be in our family we will love his as our own, teach him about his Heavenly Father and tell him how precious and loved he is. Will my heart break if he leaves us? Yes! Will I cry? You bet, already bawled at the thought many times! Will I regret opening our hearts and home? NO WAY!"
