Driving back home from Fort Worth, replaying today's events in my head, tears came as I sang these words…His love endures forever. Forever.
Today I dropped off two kids. One temporarily and one possibly forever. When I offered to take in my foster love, I knew it was not permanent. I knew that it was for just a short time. From the beginning, God made that clear.
It's been two months. Two months of being up all through the night, feedings every three hours, changing endless diapers, kisses followed by prayers, for a child that would never be mine. Two months. Two months of fostering love.
I took my sleeping foster love inside. I left to go to the store for formula. When I returned, he was awake. Oh, that sweet face. Reaching down, I got him out of his carrier, kissed his sweet neck like I always do, and changed his diaper. It was time. Time to hand him over. Possibly forever. This could be it.
All I can do is sing praise. For HE is good. I know He has the perfect plan for my sweet foster love. Just as God's love endures forever, my love is just the same for my little foster love.
Adoption. My heart longs to adopt. At times, I find myself searching. God has written their names on my heart, and I pray for them. I know in God's timing, He will bring them home. He will complete my family, and I will give thanks. For His love endures forever.
I give thanks for the the family God has blessed me with through adoption…My sister Tiffany Warren, my sister Victoria Lee, by brother Bo Lee, my niece Zariah Carlile, and my nephew Zaden Carlile.
Adoption. It's a beautiful thing.
