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!

Tease...

Got a call around midnight (a few days ago) for a 2 year old girl.  It was Baby Love's agency worker.  She left a message on my home phone and my oldest ran in to tell me that 'they're calling for a baby!'.  I called her back and she told me what she knew, which wasn't much.  She asked if I'd be willing to take the baby because even though she had a list of foster parents, she knew I didn't have to go to work the next morning.  I said yes.  She called back an hour later to tell me that the baby was placed with a family member. I was a bit relieved, truth be told.  We are adding an extension onto our existing house and everything is in complete chaos.  The crib is in Sprouts room.  It worked out.  BUT...the house is clean(ER) now and I want the phone to ring!!!

I had a very similar experience last week. Now I want my phone to ring again! I didn't think I was ready but the tease showed me I am!
