Yes. I say that word a lot during a days time. However, in foster care saying yes, changes everything and getting to the place where yes is the answer takes time and processing. Situations that are beyond my comprehension, but children that I long to take in seem to overshadow the unknowns I fear.
We've said yes to two children, one who will come right away and another that will come later. We are waiting behind any available and suitable family members who may come through the woodwork. Honestly hoping that none come is a weird feeling... but, I must be honest and say we hope that we are the ones who will take in these littles. We are willing and waiting to do all we can to make life easier as we wait on the system to do what it has to. We had the weekend to process through our decision and we went back and forth on it.. we wanted them, but we feared that we wouldn't get them.. which makes saying yes harder in some ways, because we have opened our hearts to these littles and we know that as of now it's not a for sure thing... hoping to know for sure soon.. but it takes time to locate and search out family... so we wait and hope.
My heart is whispering yes... and my head is telling me to take it slow... but oh how I want to take them in. We shall see what tomorrow brings. Prepping for what could be and trying to remain cautious. Pray for the littles this situation affects.. pray for justice, pray for mercy, pray! Thank you!
