The Beginning......

About three years ago we as a family decided we wanted to share our love as a family and help those who were not fortunate enough to be in a loving home.
We decided after much talking to become foster parents.

It's not something you do for the money, since you end up spending more than you are ever reimbursed, it's something you do because you love children and hope that you can make a difference in their lives.

We went thru a lot of training, most just common sense things, some training that makes you roll your eyes and think wh0ever wrote this never had children and some of the training just breaks your heart, hearing some of the things you will have to deal with.

Some of the past experiences we have had you might think don't happen in a town like ours, that those things can't be right under our noses, or in our backyards. But it does exist, it just doesn't get the attention like the kids you may see on tv in other countries, but there is so much that can be done right here at home.

So this blog will be about our journey as parents of older children and our parenting of children who may be with us a week, month or years.
