Growing

When we first started taking classes to become foster parents our instructor said we were the cream of the crop. It takes special people to do this. I didnt understand that... till now. This is no easy task. It is not like having kids on your own. where you plan and ponder for 9 months at a time. You are thrown into this wonderful whirlwind of sweet and challenge. appointments, regulations and strangers in and out of your house. bottles binkies and pampers all rolled into one.You try your best to fit into what the perfect parent looks like to the "State" and follow all the rules that any normal loving parent would struggle with.The actual parenting and nurturing is the easy part. You jump in head first knowing your love for the kids will far  outweigh the challenges laid before you.

As we journey Thru parenthood and Fosterhood, we find that we are growing in ways we never knew we could. My husband and I are coming together as a team like never before. When he see's I am exhausted he looks for ways to relieve me. He is finding his own way as a father. I am so proud of him. I am proud of us. We are growing thru this.
