The Rollercoaster Returns!

We are going to meet a 4 year old little boy on Friday to see if he will be our next placement!  Yes, you're right we still have our sibling set of 3 kiddos in our home and we are already taking calls on a next placement:)  I'm not willing to pass anything up when I get a call!  In April when we very first heard that our 3 kiddos were going home, we took a call seriously about 3 boys, but we decided (with the Lord's obvious prompting through my husband) that we needed to focus on our 3 we currently have.  Thank you Lord for not letting me sink my heart into those boys and keep it deep in the heart of these 3 we have because we are SO thankful for the time we have been blessed with.  We started with a 7, 5 and 2 year old and right now they are a 7, 5 and 3 year old who have all made HUGE accomplishments since we've had them!!!  It has been so fun and encouraging to spend the time with them we have.

BUT...

We heard they are going home VERY soon so it's almost time to move on and we've already gotten a couple calls.  From the beginning this little boy has had my heart and the other sibling set has gone a different direction before we were even able to have it be part of our considerations.  Was that God too? ~we'll see:)  We are happy to go through the process and see what our future holds.

We will not be involved with reunification efforts again like we were this time and I think we are both really looking forward to getting rid of that emotional headache.  Although I'm sure there will be other new headaches we will discover, but that's all part of the "local community/state court system package" we have knowingly signed up for.  I still feel called to this specific avenue for our potential adoptive kids.
