A sad day at home...

Today, we're saying goodbye to one of the sweet girls who we've welcomed into our home for about the last 9 months. This is, by far, the hardest part about being a foster family. We will miss her so dearly.
If you are at all feeling the pull to learn more about the adoptive and foster care communities, we encourage you to check out America's Kids Belong at: americaskidsbelong.org/

I like how Lucy said “we aren’t called to be comfortable we aren’t called to comfort we are called to do hard things for gods glory.” I completely agree that saying goodbye is the hardest part in fostering children, but know they will always be with you in your hearts.

[@bradenfamily8894]

I’m so sorry for you guys but that really is the hardest part of foster care. Me and my family will probably never do it, because our family is already really busy in the first place and my whole family really would like to foster but we just can’t. I’m so glad that you guys know you’re calling, and you do it.
