Just wanted to give everyone a quick up-date on yesterday. We had an informational meeting with the family and their caseworker when we gave them the boys.
God was in that room. I felt His presence and peace. Everything went so well and I want to believe that this family WILL make it.
The most awesome thing is when the family thanks you for what you have done for their kids. They thanked us so many times for the work we had done with them and the accomplishments the boys had achieved. The Dad even shook our hands and said we can see the boys anytime we want. I just don't know how often that happens.
Randy told them how much the oldest loved church and the parents said he was afraid of a lot of people and wasn't used to be around anyone, but their family. We kind of laughed and told them how friendly he was and was introducing himself to everyone and wanted to always sit with"the Girls". He is already a ladies man!
Randy and I walked away sad, but hopeful and filled with peace. Originally I couldn't believe it and thought it was a horrible idea that they were going with Grandma. Now I am filled with peace and am comforted after our meeting that these boys are loved and will be taken care of.
Not to sayI don't miss them. All night I was praying " Oh, I hope they go to bed well and don't cry all night."
More to come on our Lessons Learned~

I am so happy that things went well yesterday. God is truly good. I know that you have imparted so many things in these boys that will last their entire life. May God bless you both. You are amazing for doing what you are doing. I love you guys!
him--shy?! yeah right, i don't see it. the first thing he wanted to do when i met him was show me the chickens..."well come on!!" --and headed for the door. and yes, God is definitely good, all the time! :) i love you and your whole family tracy! kisses!
Tracy, I can't even imagine doing what you guys are doing. I know it would be hard to give up the kids you have had and grown close to. Just think though of how you have changed those kids lives forever. What might have happened to them if you had not been there to take them in. I think you guys are really blessed to be able to foster. You are an amazing family! I Love you!
