National Adoption Awareness Month....

November is National Adoption Awareness, and I want to share with everyone how special this month has become to my family! Did I ever dream that this would be my story, No! Am I glad that this is our story, Absolutely!!!!!! I believe because this was our journey that I am a better, more patient mother. I try and never take one day for granted! We hope to have more children, so we will wait and see how God works it out........ The waiting is what is sooooooooo hard! I have been taking foster classes for the past 5 weeks and next Tuesday will complete the course for me, and then Justin has to take his. Our plans are to be open about fostering/and or adopting through DHS. The hardest part of the classes for me is realizing that not every child has a safe place to lay their head at night, and I learned tonight that Oklahoma is in the Top 3 of abuse that happens with kids in the system. So not only are they removed from the home due to abuse or neglect, but once they are at a foster home the same things sometimes repeat themselves. Are you kidding me? Someone would misuse the power as foster parents to hurt a already wounded child, WOW....... Please lift all the children up this month in prayer, and pray specifically for the foster children, and orphan child that they will find good forever families through Adoption!
