Tonight is our last night with these cuties. And this will be the end of our foster care journey....for now. It's been such an experience! So many highs and lows. So many days spent in tears for these kids. So proud of them and ecstatic for their achievements. So happy to be there for them as they cling to me when they were fearful. We've been constantly told that this was an extreme foster care case and not the norm...but really we didn't know any different since it was our first...and really what is the norm with foster care?!? It's so sad and absolutely heartbreaking to see where these precious kids came from, but it's so amazing to see how far they have come and overcame as we send them on. We started this journey in hopes of adopting our #4...that didn't end up being the case...and we are thrilled to welcome our #4 in a few months. But we do have hopes to be foster parents again in the future...not to adopt...but just foster to foster. There are so many precious ones out there that just need a safe and loving home.
