I feel sad...
I got a call this evening from a local foster mother. She was following up with me about my inquiry and had invited us to the orientation that was taking place this week. I had tell her we had decided against pursuing foster care at this time because we were going to focus on having a baby. We spoke for a few minutes more and she ended with something that really hit me in the chest -
"please Christina, if you and your husband change your mind at any time in the future please call me...we are really desperate for families right now."
AAHHH MAN! that totally not only caught me off guard but really hit me emotionally. Did we make the right choice? should the pregnancy thing wait? by saying no am I letting more children suffer without a safe place to go? I know for a fact that we will one day be foster parents...but is that enough? I have a lot of praying to do!

Christina,

Oh, that really had to tear your heart out. I know it's a tough decision, but I think you owe it to yourself to try having a baby.

In the end, everything will work out exactly to God's plan.

I wish you the very best of luck!

Notice anything different?

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding.  She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out.  So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding.  Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head.  Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.

Soon to be teenager!

We just celebrated our 11th Gotcha Day, this kid amazes me everyday.  She is doing fabulous in the 6th grade.  She currently has all As and 1 B.  She loves school and still loves to learn.  She struggles a bit with making friends, but she handles herself well, meshes great with the staff and the teachers and doesn't take any crap or bullying from anyone.  LOL!  She has had her fair share of issues, and has had to write out 50 Ways to be Respectful a handful of times and has been in the "warrior room" to work out conflicts more than once but she is loving, kinds, silly, strong and very self confident.
