God really has to call you and your husband to be a foster parent. BUT, if its not somthing you can do, please please take the time and be a CASA, be a girl scout leader, be a big sister/big brother, be that adult who cares--genuinely cares and can listen and offer advice and just hang out somtimes. Too many of these kids phase out into the world and repeat the cycle because they know no better. They don't know love, they don't know how to function the way they need to. You don't have to foster/adopt to help these children. Just be available for other things!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-40302659603006970872011-12-09T16:13:59.708-06:002011-12-09T16:13:59.708-06:00I was looking forward to seeing what you would pos...I was looking forward to seeing what you would post. This is certainly good will! I was a foster parent for awhile and considered it many times again, but I just don't like the system. I would do much better with adoption. One of my daughters has applied for being a Big Sister. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.Michaelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806716677546687464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-18367964530938882132011-12-08T16:51:57.825-06:002011-12-08T16:51:57.825-06:00I want you to know how much I appreciate your rece...I want you to know how much I appreciate your recent posts. The fact that you are taking so much out of your busy day to find these facts and enlightening us says so much about you and your character. You are obviously a loving, kind and dear dear person. I have a couple of family members who have been foster parents and then ended up adopting the children. This is so important and so needed. You are an angel.

I do hope they have a success story like this.<br /><br />You are a strong and brave woman! I could never put that kind of information out there about myself.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032479084775154076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-85987977019767596112011-12-08T09:48:05.069-06:002011-12-08T09:48:05.069-06:00Thank you for sharing this deeply personal post- i...Thank you for sharing this deeply personal post- it touched my heart. We have been a foster family in the past but stopped when our daughter faced some very intense surgeries. The children from those years still live in my heart and are lifted in my prayers daily. <br />Thank you, again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644117901228961804noreply@blogger.com
