Saturday is the big day! The kids have been fortunate enough to have nearly a month for transition, something that is very unlikely for the majority of situations for Foster Placement. This is a new effort being put forth and I'm curious about the difference. Some foster parents I meet are stunned at the idea and others know that this would be a better thing for the kids, in their eyes, even though they haven't experienced it yet. Maybe we are guinea pigs for the county, who knows, but one thing we do know is that even if the kids end up being upset about permanently moving homes, they will know they can trust the people in the home they will be moving into, not strangers they've never met.
For those of you who know my planning attitude, know that I'm thriving on all this schedule coordination! It's my favorite part besides finally getting a cute little two year old to snuggle into me after waking up from a nap:) All the kids seem to have been taking a better liking to my husband than I, although they do know who to go to when they're hungry or thirsty:) We are blessed to take care of these kids and we look forward to what they are going to teach us during their time with us. Please keep these kids in your prayers during their transition of finding out that they are going to be living with us and not just visiting. We are so thankful for all the angels that have taken care of us thus far! Please know that God wants to Bless you all, as you have been a Blessing to these kids in a big way.

I think it is great for some kids--our girls couldn't handle the 'back and forth'-- they had meltdowns everyday and the oldest finally announced--"I am so tired of going back and forth!!!!" So guess it just depends. Have enjoyed reading your posts! Congrats on becoming foster parents!
