Foster Parenting

Hello, friends.

A short post for you tonight.

Foster parenting is hard. It's messy. It's exhausting. It's frustrating. If it's not one thing, it's another, and there's never rest for the weary.

Foster parenting is good. It's rewarding. It's heartwarming. It's life-changing. It's new every morning and there's always a reason to smile.


I don't like lice.
I don't like allergic reactions.
I don't like phone calls from the school nurse.
I don't like uncertainty.
I don't like panic attacks.

I love my daughter.
I love her laughter.
I love her unique way of looking at the world.
I love her positive attitude.
I love my God who takes care of both of us.

Would I do it again, after all I've gone through these past two days? Without a doubt I would.
