Making the decision to be foster parents was kind of hard. There was so much to think about! Can we love someone elses baby like our own? Can our family members love someone else's baby like its our own? Will they accept her? What if everyone loves her and then she goes home to her bio family? What then? What will this do to our son? Do we have the space, do we have the money? Can we do this?
We think we can, but our family is a little nervous. I think most people think that if I can't have my own baby maybe I should just be done, you know, be happy with the one child I already have. I am happy with my son. He is my world! He brings more joy to my life than ever anticipated. The love I have for him is so powerful sometimes it hurts! And there are other kids out there who need that type of love and we have it to give. So, maybe this can work...
We signed up for the classes that you have to take to become foster parents. The classes take 10 weeks meeting once a week for three hours a night. Then there is home work too. All through the class we feel supported and prepared. We are ready. Sign us up!
