Last night, I told a member of our family our plans to foster adopt. I had expected a much more positive reaction to the news, (beings this person was a child of the state foster care system) but instead I was torn down. This person rocked my core and made me second guess mine and Tim's heart for unwanted children. It is amazing how the people who influence us the most sometimes are the ones who hurt us. But today I made the official call..... To order our packet to get liscensed for foster-to-adopt! The woman on the phone was so gracious and gave me all the words of encouragement I needed to hear. She reaffirmed me, and now I am sure my heart is right, and no longer am I going to let that other person speak death into me. So pray for us! We love you!

I'm so excited for you, and for all of us! I'm glad we're doing this at the same time, and the McCalls, Nesbys, Zitnys, have started a group that I expect the Barnards to come to where we talk about where we are in the process, what we're going through, and just lift one another up. There's going to be a lot of times that you feel like changing your minds, but we're here for each other. Love you guys! call me!
