Last night we went to the first of 10 foster/adoption classes through Missouri Baptist Children's Home. We are very excited about this new ride we are about to take. Our main goal is to be there for children with attachment issues or other therapeutic range of issues. This I can tell you is not me, I do not have the power, strength or patients to care for these children but Christ has laid this on our hearts and has given us the spiritual tools to do it. He has put the right people and the right organization in place to make this work. We have fostered before but it was without professional training and we feel that this time around we are going to be fully prepared. We also feel after our first attempt at fostering that we know what we can and can't handle with a just turned three year old who has attachment issues himself. We are not in this to just adopt but to be there for the small victims of the world. However, if God puts a child here and wants it to stay, we will be more than happy to adopt.....but that is simply not up to us :O)
