WOW! We have been in the process of getting our cert. to be foster parents again....and when we did we were told that there were 3 little boys that we could consider for adoption....we were thinking we wanted to foster teen girls {we did this years ago....for 5 straight years}....but we wanted to follow God's will so we said ok. A week later we got a call and they said "it's a no" about the boys...we weren't even cert. yet...so we were just taking out time...chillin' out....waiting on God. Then yesterday we got a call and a proposal....the county asked us to take another 3 children and that they would just go ahead and call the state to get us approved for emergency care. They NEVER do this...as we are not kin of these kids. I prayed...rob prayed...we said yes...but were sure they would call back and say "no". Not this time! They called and said they would be coming in 2 hours! So....the kids we were blessed with taking care of for a time {honestly, they hardly ever go home}....are...a little boy {4}, another little boy {2}...and a sweet baby girl {5 months}! So in a matter of 2 hours we went from 7 kids to 10! All three new kids are in diapers....I tried to put the oldest on the potty and he arched his back and got upset....and the other boy has downs syndrome...I think. they are all VERY VERY delayed. We shall see where God takes this, but we are in much prayer that these kids' parents will get help and they can all be a family once again. Please join me in prayer for these 3 kiddos and their parents. they sure do need it!Saturday, February 25, 2012

May the Lord show you His will.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Kim, I am bawling. Praise the Lord for people who open their homes to raise those who have been mistreated, neglected or otherwise who are in need.
ReplyDeleteI love you so much sweet sister, and your family will be blessed through continued selflessness..
How much fun to care for a baby girl once again! I am sure you are enjoying this, as well as having struggles. I will keep you in prayer. I'm just so blessed by your post today!
Much love, and write any time!
