Does anyone do foster care? We decided to take a break in 2018 after three of my kiddos were adopted. It’s been 3 years of just us growing and bonding as a family. We got a call for two littles, 2&3 years old. They will come to live with us this week. I’m going to continue school normally especially with my 3 year old because she is rocking L+N. My plan is to let the new two play unless they are wanting to join in. My three year old hasn’t met them yet and is already calling them “The Baby Club”. 😂 She probably did this because there is a 4 year age gap between her and her next sibling. She finally feels like she will have someone to play with. I hope this doesn’t disrupt her learning or the older kids learning time either. I’m excited, but also nervous not only because we will have three “preschoolers”, but also the trauma these kiddos have been though. We definitely need prayers for these littles as they transition from another foster home to ours. Also please pray for my four adopted kiddos that they remain emotionally healthy since any results of trauma they see from these two could trigger their own past trauma that they have worked so hard on. I’ve been praying over this for months now. I’ve been asking the Lord to prepare our family if we were meant to continue doing foster care. I felt we needed to continue, and here are some answers coming in! 🙏
