We are going to be parents....

...... Foster Parents :-D

Travis & I are so excited to be doing something towards our future child/children. The classes will start on March 28th and we are just thrilled. I, more than him, are very nervous but very very excited.

I have heard that foster care is pretty hard, bc you may never know how long you will have a child in your home. I am very nervous and very anxious. I feel that God will bless us beyond our imagination w/ us doing this. I don't know if God will send us our forever baby, but I don't know that he wont. We also decided if I get pregnant while we are doing foster care, that we will just continue the classes and be doubly blessed :).

I realize that this will be hard, but we need to realize that no matter what or how long we will have the child, whether it be a day, a week, a month or forever-that we were important in that child's life, at that time. We have so much love in our hearts, that we might just explode!!! Lol. I just need to love a child, and a child love me for now.

Yes, Id LOVE to experience pregnancy and birth, and I really feel in my heart that one day I will but right now, I need this-we need this.

I filled out the papers and will mail them off tomorrow, I'm so thrilled!!! Travis & I have decided that we'd like to accept a child under the age of 5. We don't care about the gender or race, but age is a factor to us. That might sound rude to some, but we just aren't comfortable w/ a child older than that-right now

So, for now we will clean out the "nursery" and get a twin sized bed and get things ready for the child's room. eick!!! We need to get an armoire (idk if i even spelled that right) so our child will have a place for his/her clothes, a car seat (I found one at babies r us that is awesome! it goes from 5lbs-50lbs.), and other things a child might need. I have a few clothes, but mostly for younger children. and 2/3 for boys.

God will provide.

In the meantime, we pray for the child that God will place in our house :)
