Our first try at fostering will come to an end this afternoon.
We are sad. It didn't take long for us to let these kids into our hearts.
Elijah was an awesome big brother, almost too much. After one week the baby was so spoiled he didn't want to walk anymore. Ethan shows his emotions differently and he did have a hard time adjusting to sharing me with 2 boys who required more of my attention. Both of my boys asked me " So when are we getting more kids? Are we going to adopt the next ones?"
Randy and I have some decisions to make before the next phone call to foster comes and we want to do what God wants and not what our flesh wants.
So I will write more about our first experience and how it has changed us and what we have learned, but for now I need to get prepared for this afternoon when I have to give back 2 boys I would claim as my own and keep forever(if I could).
Any prayers would be appreciated so much. Thanks to all of you who also got attatched to these precious boys and I hope you will continue to pray for them that God will always have His Hand on them and in the end their whole family will be saved. Isn't that what God really wants? Healthy families who serve and love Him. This is my prayer for this family.

I didn't get the opportunity to grow attatched to these boys, but I can't imagine how difficult it must be to hand them over. I will continue to pray for them, and also for your family. I'm anxious to hear about your experience.
God bless,
amy
These boys were precious. I am sure that God will continue to watch over them and the seeds that were planted just by being in your home will continue to be watered.
I think the whole church fell in love with them and I know I will miss them on Sunday.
I love you both. If you need anything, just call.
Randy and Tracy,
Joni and I are praying for you and the boys. I can't imagine what you are feeling. I know I am going to miss them and they didn't live with me. However, I know God put them in your lives for a reason and it will change both of their lives forever. You guys are awesome and I hope God tells you soon what you should do in the future. Let us know if there is anything you need or just want.
i too am anxious to hear about your experiences with the little angels :) i'm also really glad that you gave me the opportunity to go to the children's museum with you guys! what a blast we had! (hopefully i took enough pictures that day!) and i have a picture of the older one on my camera phone so i can look at that cute smile all the time..i love you so much AND God is gracious and awesome!
