I got an e-mail today from our worker letting me know that she has changed our profile in the system so that intake can tell we are open for placements. I was wondering what act of God had kept our phone from ringing off the hook for the last week and a half! Shouldn't be long now. She also warned me that they have had a lot of big sibling groups coming into care as of late, and that I really should feel perfectly open to saying no when they call. (She knows me well, ha!) She also said that knowing that we're just the biggest push-overs in the mid-west and that even if she tells us not to feel bad, the chances of us turning down a placement come very close to zero! Ha!
Anyway....I really posted to link to
THIS post.
Let me just say Amen and Amen!
You should read it. It really is fabulous.
That post just blew me away! Thank you so much for sharing the link..I am now going to share it with everyone...the part about if 7% of Christians took in one orphan there would be no more...I wish we had a statistic like that about foster care!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for sharing that article. I devoured it and left a comment. So encouraging... and such a reality check.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to find out about your next placement! That's so exciting!!
