♥ He's still here ♥

I posted last month that we were in a place of waiting with little man. At that point, they had told us he would likely leave within a week. Then there was a turn and they said no, it would be 3-6 months. We lived with that for a few weeks and now, we know it will be two weeks. Probably. The emotional rollercoaster that foster families face had never crossed my mind.

It isn't just us on this crazy ride...it's the foster child, our children, our friends and family, his family, and Big Daddy and I that are bring strung along. It's such a crazy system that sometimes seems to be for the children, and sometimes seems to forget that they are innocent, precious humans and not just a piece of property.

So, where do we stand now? We are still loving the heck out of this little guy. He's pretty stinking awesome! 

Getting the last Cheerio!

We have met his grandparents, who will be getting him from us, and love them. I've only met them twice and talked to them on the phone once, and already they feel like long lost family. We can speak frankly and laugh together and are both in this for HIM. It is so awesome to meet people who want the best for him, just like we do. The caseworker has been great, and I know she wants what's best too...but it's not quite the same as meeting grandparents (who had never met little man before) and instantly bonding over our love of this little hairy toddler.

They have promised that we can stay in his life, and I believe them...and will hold them to it. haha. He is smitten with them too. Praise Jesus! We are working on transitioning him and I know it won't be easy for him, us, or them honestly, but we are making the best of the situation presented to us.

We will also continue to pray for him and his mom and his future and know that we have done the best we can with him while we had him. It's been a blast have him here for the last 6 months, and I know God is preparing us all for this transition. I'm so thankful that he is staying close and we won't lose touch with him!
