We got a call at midnight: First 24 Hours Foster Care

[@keleyahlivebytheword8864]

Your such a beautiful woman. Continue to pray for them, and rebuke evil spirits that come from trauma. Bless you and your family abundantly, and may the most high guide you always. 😊

[@simplysummersfam]

I think about this all of the time, how kids go through so much so young. Thank you for being an angel in their life. Ive watched you for years, they couldn't have been put in a better home. This is a higher calling for you. We are here to support you anyway we can.

[@riseandshinewiththeolivasf1670]

Thank you for what you and your family are doing. We are a foster adopt family. it's so hard but a blessing. We are praying for you and them.

[@JadyA]

Yes it's a journey of lots of highs and lows but so worth it!

[@brendahowell5946]

Been through this lots! These babies go thru so much! A couple tips because foster care don’t warn you about!!Watch what may set them I off an what makes them scared or angry. Lots of love and patience. Since they have done without food Leave out food like fruit or crackers for them . I have had kids hide their food for fear they wouldn’t have any. Weighted blanket HELPS TREMENDOUSLY! Sound machines or calming music is a must to at all times. Avoid going places it be overwhelming. Smells and sights can set off trauma. It’s better if they sleep together they feel safer . Can the one homeschool? He would probably do better because mentally is more important than physical learning right now. Know I’m praying for you! It’s a hard road! I wish the world could see how heartbreaking and what really goes on here in America. Most abuse and neglect is thur out of court! Encourage and speak life into every day. You are loved, beautiful, etc.

[@jacquelinecarter5297]

I am glad they get to be enveloped in the structure, warmth, and love of your family. ❤ Thanks for sharing!!

[@JadyA]

It means the world to have them in our family!

[@yeseniaacuna8888]

I really felt emotional. This is heartbreaking. I don’t understand why the world is like this. I’m struggling to understand what’s the purpose of life. Why is their so much pain, heartache and suffering. May our Lord provide you with everything that you need and may the children that come through your home leave equipped to handle what comes next and may they always be protected. ✝️

[@littlelearnerandmom]

Such a blessing for these children…Jady you are a blessing to the community.

[@hdskl2150]

As a trauma survivor, I would suggest giving them stuffed animals to sleep with. Let them sleep together in the same bed so they feel safer. Give them flashlights to use in the dark so they know there is nothing in the room that’s going to hurt them. I wouldn’t talk to them about trauma at all. Give them art supplies to be creative freely. NEVER MAKE A TRAUMA SURVIVOR talk about what happened. Pray about happy positive things to keep their minds off the bad thoughts. I did a process where a therapist had me close my eyes and put all the bad scary memories in a locked box on a boat and let it float down the river so I didn’t have to keep the thoughts in my mind. It was very helpful. Do not discuss what happened to them.

[@hdskl2150]

It’s ok to talk if they bring it up but talking in general causes you to relive the horror

[@normaortega4654]

Diffuse Lavender while they sleep to calm & relax them. 💕 Great job Momma! ❤

[@esli44]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I will be praying for you and your family and those two little boys. God is using you to impact their lives and yours as well. God bless you!

[@tashaj07]

You’re such a beautiful soul. Foster care is so wonderful! May God continue to bless you and your family! ❤

[@darciisabella]

I wish I could give you 100 thumbs up Jady. You're such a blessing and what you're doing for these boys is amazing.🥰

[@raquelreyes7092]

Yahuah our heavenly father bless you in this journey. What a blessing to help the fatherless children. HALLELLUYAH 🙏

[@erickacameroncarr]

You and your family are such a blessing. It breaks my heart to hear their story, even though I know this is the reality for millions of kids...every story tugs at me. I get too caught up in my feelings when im presented w/ these types of situations. I'm grateful for you and others who can foster; thank you for mothering and loving all kids. I have an organization where I work with homeless adults. It's challenging but its brings me alot of joy.

[@PlagueNurseOpal]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! As someone who was adopted and came to the faith, I am homeschooling and very interested in fostering soon. I want to help my community and spread some love and the gospel. I love your content. You teach about love and school and discipline so well and it has helped me a lot as someone who grew up in neglect and abuse. Looking forward to the updates on the boys and your other content!

[@JadyA]

I am happy to share our story and inspire others to serve. It is the main purpose of my sharing, to be a witness so others can also be aware of the orphan crisis and be prompted to help!

[@flaviariquelme6740]

As a mom of an 8 yr old and a 3 yr my heart breaks for those boys. 😢 thankfully they came to such a loving family. Lots of patience and compassion. Keep sharing please!

[@mae8859]

This is heartbreaking I am a mother of 3. Two boys one girl, I can’t imagine what they must be feeling. Thank you for doing this. I thank the lord that he has put your wonderful family in a ministry like this. I will be praying for your family. ❤❤🙏✝️

[@byoungermama]

Yeah that’s too bad for the kids. I am grateful there are people like you who help

[@aguilacec]

Thank you for what you are doing. I'm feeling very inspiring by you to do fostering.

[@RachaelLecour]

So happy they have found a safe place, we will be praying for all! Loved the update 🙏🏼♥️

[@mindyrobinson9757]

God Bless you Jady. We just adopted siblings… one private adoption and one from foster care- we had a lot of similarities in what you are sharing. It’s such a refining journey. The Lord is using you in amazing ways. I will say a prayer for the boys and for you, for strength and encouragement along this difficult journey! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@diamondsapphireangel1721]

God bless you and your family for stepping in for them when they need it most.

[@JadyA]

Thank you so much for your prayers! We need them!

[@rebekahian]

You and your family are just amazing ❤ I would love to follow along on your journey.

[@lucylocketsthinkingpocket]

I agree that routine is the best loving holder of children. I am a preschool teacher and many of the children I work with come from complex backgrounds. I also find music and song is a precious treasure - a way for children to express emotions without having to come up with the words….They can carry the songs and action poems with them wherever they go once they learn some special ones and it may likely become part of their self soothing toolkit. As a teacher these are two aspects I hold dearly to my teaching practice because the power of both loving routine and singing songs together and to a child are so fundamentally important….You can have all the toys in the world but without those things something feels missing and things turn to custard quickly. I hope the boys find a safe, loving future home to thrive in when the time is right. Meanwhile I wish them and you all the best with this journey. It is heavy on the heart, soul and body to be around traumatic pain in children. I am glad you are building a village to support them and you all. I am sad and so so sorry that children experience the world in these awful ways. They deserve to be cherished and thrive in safety and love as every child should. Best wishes ❤️

[@JL7ify]

More of these update please ❤. God bless you and your family 🙏🙏❤.

[@JadyA]

Thank you for what you do for these babies 😭

[@JadyA]

I am happy to share our journey and inspire others to serve the orphan crisis

[@Shanesecampbell]

God bless you, and may He strengthen you! Seeing how God is moving and placing them in a home where they will be loved and cared for was so powerful. What a blessing! May God continue to protect and heal the children as well, in Jesus' name. Amen!

[@tbussaglia]

God Bless you for this!!! You are amazing

[@bmarie251]

Glory to God that you and your family are a page in their story. I pray for the watering of the seeds you plant. 🙏🏾❤️

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing I’m going to look into foster care

[@lifebeginswithaseed]

Plead the blood of Jesus over them and anoint them. Prayer helps so much. You are a wonderful blessing. ❤

[@mae8859]

Yes amen.❤

[@ayeshakeller]

Thank you for sharing and what you are doing. Try playing soft worship music or the audio Bible in their bedrooms and praying with them before bed if you haven't already.

[@julissazuniga8844]

God bless u for your willingness to be a blessing

[@Love.Antoinette]

Thank you for sharing. This is very eye opening. We completed our foster care process almost 2 years ago and still have not heard back on our approval.

[@JadyA]

I am so sorry you have been waiting for so long, I hope your approval comes soon. Try and reach out I know sometimes the system is so overwhelmed they do not have time to process new foster parents.

[@Love.Antoinette]

Thank you. Hopefully we can hear something this summer.

[@elelbago]

You are an angelic

[@Jessiemadanat]

wow thank you for sharing this

[@emilyslittlebooknook-8043]

You could make homemade mcgriddles for them, add veggies but something that might feel more familiar. Are they in same room together that might help having there brother around

[@RepentAndBelieve1437]

Thank GOD they are not in a wicked home. Edit: You are more than qualified for this assignment. GOD chose you for these precious souls. GOD Bless you all in JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN.

[@shannonhatton6321]

truly amazing. Yes ADHD is truly demonic but prayers can deliver them. My friend Julia had ADHD all her life feeling she needed to be on hyper alert but God delivered her and she doesnt take medicine anymore and her temperant is different.

[@hdskl2150]

Trauma makes you hyper vigilant. You are always looking to make sure you are safe. Being outdoors helps immensely, as does rest for the body and brain.

[@radhikasj99]

As far as education is the 7 year old behind in reading and math? What do you plan to do to help them catch up?

[@JadyA]

I plan to work with the oldest after school and in the weekend to help in any gaps.

[@c.carter7219]

@ when I was 12 one of my older cousins was a foster parent. She had me tutor a young boy who couldn’t read. He was 8 years old. It was so sad. I was in shock that someone had a worse life than me. I truly felt blessed that I was taught to read in kindergarten.

[@hdskl2150]

Trauma survivors are striving to function in a normal way. Being behind in academics really isn’t the focus. Their cortisol levels are way too high - adding additional pressure and stress is not helpful.
