They are now 10 and 15 years old and are growing into the most well adjusted and beautiful little ladies. They were a God send from the start, although a very big adjustment since I was 48 and my husband was 59 when they came to live with us. the older one remembers some not so pleasant things that happened to her before we got her but we are working through it. Hope God continues to bless your family.mamia (me and mine in Alabama)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11966653587306313897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233576366635751146.post-20361413016492601782013-02-11T08:50:50.674-06:002013-02-11T08:50:50.674-06:00Thanks for your encouragement Raye!

Of course we thought about adopting but we cannot afford to do so. <br />4 years ago we were able to conceive {naturally} our 1st little boy...and then 4 months after he was born we conceived our 2nd! (The doctor's are still baffled but we know they are our MIRACLES from God) <br />God still has not removed the longing to foster and help children who are not as blessed as ours. Your story just confirms it more. <br />Bless you and your little family. <3 Thank you for sharing!

You and your husband are beautiful people, and she is so lucky to have such a wonderful MOM and DAD! Wonderful journey :)<br /><br />My parents are foster parents (not something they signed up for, a family member that lost custody and they agreed to take.) What started as a "temporary" placement while the mom worked on getting custody back, has turned into a year. They are now 2 and 4 and the most adorable kiddos, despite everything they've gone through! My husband and I also considered trying to adopt them, but were told they will eventually go to their different dads or back to their moms. It can be such a difficult system, especially for the kids. So glad to hear your story turned out well!<br /><br />Amelia<br /><a href="http://thewildthingslearn.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> wherethewildthingslearn</a> Where the Wild Things Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066780170820965276noreply@blogger.com
