Sharing the life experience of becoming foster parents to the least of these!

Another one!
About 2:45 this afternoon I get a call from our FDS and she is giggling as she says hello to me. I asked her what was going on and she said that placement is having a hard time placing a 3 month old white male. Would we be interested in taking him??? As I am thinking about the insanity of it, I thought about our friends who are going on vacation all next week, but to have an opening in their home. I suggested that we take him for the next week and a half and then they could take him more permanently next Saturday. Our FDS called them and voila...another little boy is due to arrive here in the few hours! I think I might be a bit crazy, but at the same time it will be good practice for when/if we get Little Man's sibling. Thank God that the family he is going to is giving us a crib, mattress (to borrow until he lives there), clothes and diapers! God ordained all this knowing this situation would arise! Mr. M does indeed think I am a bit crazy, but that's ok....he knows it's not about me!

What fun. You probably won't be going too many places this week with so many little ones but it will be good practice for you. Enjoy this little one too--each day you spend with them you become part of the positive change in their lives.
God Bless!
Why is there such a hard time placing these little babies? I'm just curious on a number of levels...
I guess at this point Cheri there are lots of homes that are only accepting girls. Lots of time because of ages and the needs of babies people would prefer to have older children as well. I am actually a rarity (SAHM) so that makes us more open to babies. You thinking about becoming a foster parent???? :-)
