Fostering

Well, we made a decision today. We are going to foster until we raise enough money to adopt from Ethiopia. I was so stressed out about not being able to adopt. So our new timeline is to raise enough money within 3 years. I think this is doable. I don't want to hear any horror foster stories. If anything bad or sad happens, we will deal with it if it comes. I have fostered a ton of kittens, puppies, and dogs; so I think we are capable. I know it will be a lot harder than fostering animals.


We are really excited about this. Of course this means a lot of training. So, every Saturday is going to be booked for a while. I don't know if M will continue working overtime on Sunday's since his only day off will consist of being in a classroom. This also means a delay in our yard sale. :( We really appreciate everyone's help, but with this delay we are hoping to get more donations. I know we were meant to have more kids. Maybe this will be one of the ways we build our family? But, even if this doesn't result in an adoption, at least a child will experience unconditional love and a healthy life for whatever time frame we will have her.

Then, later in the day I opened my email and saw I won a custom made book! http://www.designmom.com/2010/04/blurb-books-giveaway/ I love this blog, and she has a ton of followers, so I can't believe I won!! I feel like I am being rewarded for making this decision. Thank you God! http://www.designmom.com/
