Answering the call
We’ve been getting a lot of calls from our foster agency in the past 3 weeks. Foster homes are filling up and kids need a safe place to stay. We continue to say yes to placements and wait for the right fit.
This week we got a call about a child with a feeding tube. Our oldest child has had a feeding tube all her life, so we have become experts. Our foster agency knows this and we are always the first call when they have a child with a feeding tube needing a placement.
We said yes and are now waiting on the county to pick the best foster home for this child. On Monday, we may have a complicated kiddo added to our household. They may only be with us for a few days or forever - that is the unknown about foster care. Answering the call means we will be there for a child for how ever long they need.
This uncertainty is our driver for seeking a permanent adoption placement. We know we have the ability and love to have another child in our home forever, we just haven’t found that child.
