Both babies are asleep for a nap, amazing. So we got baby girl and she was ONE day old, not two! She is 3 days old today. She is healthy. Of course she is beautiful, sweet, perfect baby girl. I haven't slept much, she gets up every 4 hours at night. If she isn't up, then I am up making sure she is breathing. So even is she slept through the night, I wouldn't. My boys are amazing with both babies. They want to adopt both of them, of course!
So Little Guy had a doctor visit. Drug abuse in newborns has long lasting affects. That is all I am going to say. I am really angry about the whole situation.
I love that I chose this path, I love that I listened to my heart, I love that I listened to God's call. What happens next is not in my control, nor do I want control. I am expecting heartbreak when these children go home. I want to keep them though.

AMEN! God is in control. Amazing that he already had your family planned for these 2 before they were even born. Email me any time if you need support. I have found most people don't understand all this. So, I'm here if you need me!
You are so right, It is a love that no one can even express unless you have been there. Being a "foster" mom brings a whole new love, it is a different kind that can not be explained. I so know what you mean. I also know what you mean about knowing you are not in control, and knowing you might experience unimaginable heartbreak, but that doesn't change the love for them, in fact it just might make it stronger. People who have not done foster care do not understand this. But I keep telling myself that God calls us to "Care for orphans in their time of need" Of course I pray that that time of need is forever, but it might not be. You are all in our prayers. I would love to see pictures of these beautiful kids. I know you can't show them on here, but if you want to email me some I'd love it. My email is mashelhall@comcast.net.
I am so glad I can read about your experience as I embark on this call. Enjoy loving on those little sweeties.
I am glad all is going well. I know it is difficult not to think about how you feel if/when they leave, but I have found I have a much better time, and so does (S) if I don't dwell on it.
another foster mom popping in. I remember when we picked up our foster baby at just under 2 days old- and she leaves us this Sunday (at 1 year old). Thanks for doing what you do!
