I came across your blog just a few days...Rebekah,<br /> I came across your blog just a few days ago. It has been very encouraging to me to read your story and I found myself praying for your family as I went to bed that night.<br /><br />My husband and I are also in the foster to adopt process. We have been foster parents before and it was both a challenge and a blessing. We learned so much the first time around. We learned just what the Lord is showing you. That parenting is a process. We had 2 little ones and were fostering 2 older children. We managed it and we even loved those boys but it was much more difficult than it had to be. We also learned that it is easier to parent a stage you have already gone through. As my children have reached the ages our foster boys were I am much more able to see what is "normal" for an age and what to be concerned about. <br />God has taught me so much about humility and adapting ourselves for the children we will be blessed with and not vice-versa. Ok, enough of that. It seems you have an open heart to the Lord so I am certain he has already begun a good work in you!<br />I want to recommend a book. It's called Parenting the Connected Child. A friend who has adopted gave it to me last year and it has been a wonderful read. We finished paperwork for the Foster-Adopt program in October and we are still waiting for children. We did not get a sibling group that we fell in love with, but I was praying the same thing you were in regards to the Lord's Will. Children's lives are more important than me getting my way. I know you feel the same. Still, I did cry when I found out we weren't getting them. I told myself that God just knew these little ones needed covered in extra prayer. So I got to love and pray for them before the Lord brought them to their forever home. So now we wait. That is the hardest part, and that is what led me to your blog. I will pray for this little 2 year old boy. I will tell the Lord I want you to have him and then I will pray harder for His will.<br />AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-91490405220795709012011-12-02T23:47:43.312-05:002011-12-02T23:47:43.312-05:00Exciting news!

I hear what you're saying about praying for His will to be done in this little boy's life, whether that includes your family or not... but I have to admit that the image in my mind was that of the bunk beds you purchased months ago, and two little boys playing together on them. <br /><br />Prayers will be said for your family and this little boy from around my family's dinner table tonight. :)Janeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-17798461638506706412011-12-02T17:01:35.794-05:002011-12-02T17:01:35.794-05:00Oh, I am definitely praying!
