Fostering has always been something both Dion and I were interesting in doing. So when we were presented with the opportunity to foster some kids for the Christmas holiday we were thrilled to open our home to them.
The experience was nothing like I expected. In a good way! The kids were a little shy at first but after a few days they seemed very comfortable and for me it felt like having family visiting. We enjoyed hearing them play and giggle and having fun like kids their ago do.
A little over a month after that experience we got the opportunity to care for an even younger child, an 11 month old as changing as it was; we found it rewarding. We watched him pass through precious milestones in his life. We all got very attached to him and he became a part of our family. When it was time for him to return to his family 5 months after: we were sad to see him leave but happy to know that he’s returning to his parents who love him too.
All in all the experience was wonderful and rewarding. We truly believe this was and is God’s leading in our lives and our home remain open for whenever He’s ready to use us again.
