Foster Parent Meeting! Quick Update!

Today, we went to a Foster Parent meeting, we went over some need to know things for everyday stuff, and we also had our pictures made to get ID's identifying us as Foster Parents or Resource Parents as they are now called! :)

For those of you wondering about Jamal...we only had Jamal 11 days, but we are glad that he has moved on where they are better equipped to meet his specific needs...We knew when we took Jamal in, that his placement with us would only be for a short time! Today, we discussed with one of the case workers about another placement in the near future (like just a few weeks). Apparently, a foster home is in the process of closing, so they are trying to find placements for the kids ahead of time...Danielle is 16 years old and 7 months pregnant, we would of course be helping Danielle, as well as the baby being placed in our care once he/she is born! We are excited about the possibility of being a positive example in Danielle's life, helping her to break a cycle, and become a good mom! And as many of you know I am VERY excited about having a newborn! We don't know for sure yet that Danielle will be placed with us, but we are praying towards that, we are leaving it in God's hands and praying that it works out for the best for all involved!
