Milestone achieved!

Not only is this blog thing taken off but so is our family through fostering! We have just completed our long weeks of classes and invasive questions to be foster parents. The program we are going through provides many different types but we will start with respite. This is a little different then the average foster care programs where kids are removed for a time from the parents. This is a program where parents are unable to get the help they need and call Hillside to arrange weekends where kids go with skilled and trained foster parents. The kids have to agree to this program as well! This is so different then the normal cases of foster care. This may be a lot tougher on us as well. Saying goodbye after just a weekend with them. However it gives a chance to build a relationship with the parents and help them as well when they get to the whits end point. Andrew and I are so excited to start this. And sooner then we think our house will be full! We also have our next exchange student coming in the middle of August! Our house will be so busy and we will just thank our Heavely Father so much for all of the blessings!
