I felt the hand of God tonight. He guided me right into the path of a new friend. I honestly think if I had chosen to walk the other way, God would have drug me back. He's done it before.
I met the most wonderful new foster parent. She has her first placement and is doing a great job. I spent an hour and a half with her answering questions, talking about my experience's and snuggling with one of her beautiful twin daughters.
She put my phone number into her own phone to expand her support system...an honor for me.
Jennifer is a breath of fresh air in this sometimes stagnant atmosphere of bureaucracy. She and her husband share a passion for children in need. They also have a heart for the birth families; a rare find these days. They are filled with energy and compassion for the whole child, birth family and all.
What an honor to meet Jennifer and her children. I look forward to meeting her husband. It is families like Jennifer's whose hands and feet are those of Jesus...who welcome the children in his name.
Thank you to all the Jennifer's out there. You are my hero's.
With great respect,
Judy
Still loving life as a Foster and Adoptive Parent for over 20 years and 58 children.
