There are moments while being a foster mom that fill my heart with joy and gratitude. Recently we took in another foster daughter who is 12 and we still have our 17 year old foster daughter as well. We have never had to juggle two separate cases before so that is a new learning experience. I can’t help but think that people probably think we are crazy. Sometimes I think we are crazy for saying yes to another placement as well when we were really in a good routine with our 17 year old. As a family of three we talked and prayed about saying yes to the 12 year old and feel thankful we did say yes. It has been a blessing to get to know her and see how well the two girls get along. Now it has only been over two weeks so it is still in the honeymoon phase but so far I think things are going well. The younger girl really looks up to the 17 year old which is very sweet. If there is any 17 year old to look up to as a role model I am thankful it is her. I am beyond proud of the woman our 17 year old has become and continues to evolve into. I have always admired her resiliency, responsibility and the way she advocates for herself with all the people involved in her case. She is entering into her senior year and I am filled with so much joy as she has chosen us to walk alongside and support her during this amazing journey she is on. I am excited to see her take senior pictures, enjoy driving her own car to school, graduate high school, tour colleges and go to prom. She is breaking through barriers and creating a new legacy for her life.
With all of that said, today I feel blessed I am a foster mom to these beautiful girls ❤️
