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!

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!
