Praise God!

Today was a day for good news. I found out that the amazing foster family who had Cash before us just now received a new baby girl! She is only a week old. What a blessed time for their family. I know how loved this little girl will be because I can look into my son's eyes and see how loved he was while he was in their home. And, I know how loved he still is by this amazing family. We constantly feel their prayers and support. Praise God for this amazing family and the chance they have to plant more seeds in this child's life.

I also had the wonderful chance to meet a new friend this evening who is involved in the foster-to-adopt process. In October or November of this year, their family will grow from a family of three to a family of seven. Can you imagine? What love they must have to take this giant step of faith. I'm in awe of them and could see the amazing love they already share for these kids even before they have arrived home.

These children are such a blessing. Often, we are told what a blessing we are to our boys, how wonderful it was for us to take them. I don't see it that way. These boys have given us much more than we could ever give them. They have taught us to love in a way that I couldn't even imagine. They have given me strength and courage that I didn't know I had, and they have brought our family together - they are what made us a family.

I know that these two new families will be blessed in the same way and I praise God for continuing to bestow such rich blessings on us.
