This past July we received our first foster placement, a baby
girl. We received a call around midnight and sprung into action. Our church
family rallied along side of us dropping off diapers, clothes, and toys at our
doorstep. Our foster daughter was full of giggles and gave us a crash course in
how to function with sleep deprivation. I dropped all commitments to place my
undivided attention on this little gem. Earlier this month, she was placed with
a family member, and she rushed out of our lives as quickly as she entered. I
now feel like I have a better understanding about the challenges of answering
the call to be a foster parent.
Prayer requests:
- Love and safety to surround our first placement.
- Healing of our broken hearts.
- Support for all those who foster children.
- Protection and help for vulnerable children around the world.
