A lot has happened since my last blog post!
Update #1 Our first placement has went home to mom and dad. She was with us a few days shy of 5 months and words cannot begin to describe the pain of having to say goodbye. This sweet little girl came to us just days after her 1st birthday. My husband and I still talk about her almost everyday. It’s hard. It’s really hard. To protect her story and identity I won’t go into details. But our prayer is that her being returned to parents was the best choice and that she will thrive with them. We also pray for the parents that they will be what they need to be for their child.
Update #2 Right before our little girl went back home to her parents we received a call about a newborn placement. So off we went to the hospital to bring home a sweet baby boy. His time with us was short lived (30 days) and we knew this going into his placement. However, no matter the length of time we were in his life we pray that we shined a light to both him and his parents. We pray that his parents will be who he needs them to be and that he will grow up to be a strong and healthy little boy.
So, for now we have an empty nest. I know it won’t last long because, there is always going to be a need. No matter how hard it is to say goodbye, there will always be a child needing someone to “get too attached.” There will always be a child needing to feel welcomed, wanted, and loved. ♥️
