Oh the questions -this is my least favorite part about doing foster care. I know people don't realize that I get the same questions from every person I come in contact with, but seriously people, do you really think I am going to give you every detail of this little child's life? Some of these people are complete strangers, too. I think I am going to start making up stories to tell the strangers.
My least favorite - "do you get to keep her?" I'm sure I sound like a raging biotch when I answer this one, but for real, it's foster care people. F O S T E R C A R E. If I was adopting her, everyone and their mother would know. I would be shouting it from the rooftops.
Another question that baffles me - "doesn't it suck knowing they might go home???". Of course it does. Thankfully, we are at a point where we trust God and know that He will heal our hearts if and when that day comes. To be honest, that is the hardest part of foster care for us. We did not have that before and our hearts were broken. But through the heart-break, we learned a lot. We really understood that we have to have full faith in our amazing God, and He will put the pieces back together.
So for now, we are enjoying our time with this little angel. In the foster world, you never know when these kiddos will be taken from us, so we need to soak up every second with them.
