Never intending to adopt, just loving the littles,as our own grown kids. Well God had other plans for us, we have adopted one and looks like another adoption is cooking. I love to go to something just for foster parents, moms or both. I'm not only an advocate for my foster child I'm an advocate for my agency. I love my job. My calling.

I'm going to recommend it at our community partnership meetings, which include our local DHW. Thanks, and congratulations. I also want to say that I found out about you through @adoptusKids, they reposted your Foster Care Binder, which I would like to repost on my FB page, Foster Care Friends of Idaho.

Being a foster parent is really hard and it indeed requires a heart for such a thing. I'm glad you have the passion to be doing what you are doing. I hope you continue to be a blessing to the children and an inspiration to others.

It just kills me most of the time with all the BS that goes on that I don't know just how much more I can take. (mind you we really did not have that bad of a road with our placements, heard of much worse). I respect and applaud you so much!
