Our family came back from vacation early Thursday morning. Everyone is super exhausted, but we're pushing through. The weekend will be here in a few short minutes after I pick Bean up from school.
Today has been filled with a lot of emotions in a few short hours. Today we received our first call from Hope & Home about a child; a young 11-year old boy. He is currently in another home that was supposed to adopt him, but that fell through and he was going to be placed with us tonight, but that family decided to keep him through the weekend and we will bring him into our home on Monday, but only for a couple of days.
The emotions, which I didn't expect, came so quickly.

I had to take a little break from this post because well, that little boy didn't come to our home. I've been praying for him and I hope that he is doing well and thriving in his new home.
Fostering is hard...and we don't even have a kid yet. Weird right? Well when you understand what fostering is, you'll get what I'm talking about. I know we can't save them all, but we can be a little light in their darkness.
Until then, we wait.
