For now

Hello Everyone,  sorry I have ignored the blog, I was busy being a mommy to our first placement.  In September we had the pleasure of caring for an 8 month old baby boy. We were able to celebrate his first Thanksgiving, Christmas and his first birthday. Most people by now have heard about our story with this little guy and that he has now gone to stay with his mom and grandma; he was with us for 5 months.  One of the issues with the system is that the judge can make a desicion based on whatever they want.  The lawyers and Children's Division all recommend that baby B stay with us but the judge did not agree.  Please be in prayer for baby B and that he is safe, loved and that he will grow up to know Christ.  We of course have said if he ever comes back into care we want to be notified first, for placement.

Right now we have a 4 month old little guy, he is sweet and a pretty good baby.  While we don't understand why we were chosen to suffer with infertility or why God has pointed us towards foster care, we remain obedient and faithful.  The night that Baby B left I was having a really hard time and I looked to Psalms for comfort. God pointed out 113:9 which says," He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord."  God has heard our desires and we are getting to parent children who need a parent figure; they need to be loved on and care for.  God is meeting our desire even if it is not how we imagined it would be.   

So for now, we are caring for whoever God places in our home with everything we have.  It does not mean it is easy, actually it is hard.  One day we do pray one of these children will make us their forever family.   

Thank you for your encouragement and support,

Lynn and Angela
