I think one of the hardest parts for fostering for me is not being so mad at the parents for putting their kiddos in the situation where they would need to be removed from their home. I know that you are supposed to try to work with the birth parents to reunite them with their kids, but that is going to be hard. I will have a hard time letting go and possibly letting the kids return to a bad situation. I will just have to love them as much as I can while they are with me and pray for them once they aren't with us anymore. I am excited about the possibilities. Nervous too, but more excited than anything. Thrilled really at the crazy adventure God has us on, knowing that it will be wild, and hard, but SO worth it! Thanks again for helping us think about fostering!!!Sarah Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000817419094818434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688916779717257492.post-41819130440749009022011-03-03T23:11:26.511-06:002011-03-03T23:11:26.511-06:00don't forget mentoring at-risk children or vol...don't forget mentoring at-risk children or volunteering in group homes/children homes.<br /><br />if you volunteer in these homes, you have to have a background check, and go through small training. but you could do anything from help with homework to play with the children to running arts and crafts or running teen movie night. -- a way to connect with kids who need good role models and connections.LThttp://looneytunes09.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688916779717257492.post-80876276417143445832011-03-03T15:31:24.420-06:002011-03-03T15:31:24.420-06:00Elise - No problem!
