Yesterday a woman emailed me and said that if I want to come and peruse through her bin of baby clothes I could fill a grocery bag for $3! Ummm..Yeah! So I went over and then she started asking me what else we needed (she knew we were preparing for foster care). I only had $15 cash, but in addition to the clothes I got an infant car seat! She has several other items like a bouncer, swing, and more all for $15-25 a piece! I have to go back later with more cash :-)
On another note....we have all our paperwork in except for 2 babysitter forms (I'll have those in hand on Sat.) and one of our neighbor references. We don't really know these people, so we feel a bit awkward going over and bugging them again. It's so funny how God eases our minds....after dinner tonight there is a knock on the door and there was our neighbor needing a jump for his truck :) No problem! Mr. M was able to introduce himself and the neighbor said they were sending in the form this week. Praise God! I don't have to wonder anymore, and they got their vehicle working :)! Love it! The list in my side bar is slowly going down!!
Sharing the life experience of becoming foster parents to the least of these!

Yeah for your good deals. We have a closet of clothes with atleast 4 outfits for every size since we will take kids 0-14. My kids love it when we go through to rotate and they get the new clothes out of the bins. We do a lot of clearance clothes shopping and I have a few friends who give us clothes when they don't need them anymore. God is good!
I was thinking about you yesterday as I sat on a state review board for foster care. The monitor asked a few questions about initially getting licensed and what paperwork was needed--lots of it. I am glad to hear you are almost done! It is quite an accomplishment.
I remember when we were first licensed and we were concerned about going away that we may miss the call to pick up a child. It is very exciting each time to see who God brings to your house. I can't wait to hear about who He brings to yours!!
Thanks Mandy! I am in the process of putting together "emergency totes" with 4 outfits for each size/gender. We have the crib together and things are getting organized...now we just need those children! :) Thanks for your support!
