One minute you are folding tiny laundry…and the next minute the Lord impresses words on your heart and you have to share. Enjoy. — A week ago was our first time to go to court. First placement. First court. Nothing really prepares you for sitting in the room with a judge at the front reading…

We are just slightly over a month into this new adventure. It’s mind-boggling to consider all the changes in such a short amount of time.

6 days ago we got our first placement call. I can honestly say that pure excitement took over and the logistical side fell to my husband. If you know us, that probably doesn’t surprise you. The response to our first placement call was a very loud yes. The Lord was so kind to us in…

Last night we finished our Foster Classes. It really is way more bittersweet than we expected. It was 9 weeks, every Monday night, 6-9pm. Clara and I rode together every Monday, I would drop Clara off in Clayton & then head west to Chesterfield for work. Then at 4:30pm do it in reverse, grab a…

Tonight our Social Worker came for our final homestudy. It’s so hard to believe that we are on the downward slope of getting licensed! We are feeling so many emotions, but excitement is at the top of the list! As of right now, we are looking at being licensed and ready to take in children…
