Xman & Baby K

We had a set of sibs last month for 11 nights that came to us at 3am. This was our 1st middle-of- the- night placement. Let's call them Xman (age 6) and his baby sis (K, 2 months). He was a handsome, sweet boy, who could easily fool a stranger with his sneakiness! :)  He was so protective over baby K. Anytime she cried he would want to hold her and be the first to try calming her. We had a very nice time with him, and I miss him now from time to time. I just really want to know how he is doing in school. He was having a very hard time at home, but part of the problem was removed, for now, so when he went back w/mom, I'm hoping things are much better. We told him how much we loved him and about God & His son Jesus and how He loved him SOO much! That made him smile! He would say to us.. "I really love ya'll!"  *smile*
Baby K was a funny girl..she was a pretty fussy baby, but I think it was mostly because she was breastfed, and I couldn't give her anything but Enfamil in that department :( But I sure loved watching those 2 together.

Baby E

a few weeks ago we were called about a newborn baby girl! she was safe in the hospital, but had been saved by the Grace of GOD from an awful situation. We brought her home and have loved her like our own. We gave her a special name..I'll call her Baby E. She is wonderful! Our kiddos just adore her. So we got her on the 8th, and then on the 26th, just 2 days before court, we found out she has a 1/2 sister that was adopted at birth 3 years ago, and that family wants her. At court the judge ordered for her to remain in our home, but to be transitioned into the home of her sister. This news was so bittersweet!! We were able to meet the other family, and they seem great, but our hearts are broken at the same time. God is already working on repairing them, and we are cherishing the remaining time we have w/baby E. We asked the family to meet w/us this weekend so they can meet E and start bonding with her.

Our Fostering Journey thus far...

We started the process to become foster parents in April, 2010. We took the training courses & CPR classes, got the home study done, background checks, and also medical checks....and were licensed in August. We got our first placement one week later...


2 brothers, ages 11 months (little D) and 3 1/2 (B)  We had such a great time with these boys...we celebrated D's 1st bday with our whole house church at the park. Then in September we celebrated B's 4th birthday!! We played outside with them a lot since they were here during the summer months. They were reunited w/mom in October.
