When they Leave. The hard part of foster care.

We recently had one of our foster love’s leave our home suddenly after two months with us. It was extremely hard for me to pack up his things and send him away. A small part of my heart went with him.

The goal of foster care is reunification. We agreed to that when we signed up and support that for each one of the kiddos that comes into our home, even though we pray we can adopt some day. It was the first time I had to say goodbye. The first time that foster care broke my heart.

Most people say that is the reason they would never do foster care. It’s definitely not easy. It was definitely much harder than I anticipated. But, God put half pint in our lives to love for just that long. I will always love and care about him and hope to see him again one day.

So, we move on and pray that we can adopt one day and have our little family. Until then, we will love our little fosters as best we can.

The biggest lesson I have learned is God is still good. And Jesus always wins.
