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!

It's been a while since I last posted. Time flies when you're having fun... (is THAT what this is??) Daisy had (2) 2 hour visits last week due to our Thanksgiving vacation. It was a difficult 2 days as she never knew what to expect from us after dropping her off twice at DSS. Her mood is visible after a visit. She is easily stressed these days and even came home with some hives. I have seen that her bio dad is good with her. HE is the one taking 'care' of her during the visits. She still holds us pretty tight when we drop her off but there's nothing I can do about that. I spoke to her caseworker and I was told that with the influx of children coming into care visits may get harder and harder. While every parent is entitled to a visit with their child (who is in care) the space at the building can only accommodate so many visits at one time. But since dad was released from jail they have made every visit (I think...) We missed an opportunity for 2 little boys (in the age range we requested) last week. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I have these clothes upstairs calling me from inside the bin where they're so neatly tucked and patiently waiting to have the tags removed and fulfill their purpose in life. Let's just see what happens....
