We're back on the #FosterCare train and I'm in that weird limbo period where our whole life has turned upside down but it feels easier to just keep posting Instagram reels of my favorite snacks. 😂
.
Really though, I've never exactly figured out how to navigate this incredibly personal and fragile area of life that feels absolutely HUGE and yet not appropriate for me to share on the internet.
.
So here's what I'll tell you:
A precious little one moved in with us last week and I can't answer many questions about it because truthfully, I don't really know much at this point. 🤷🏻‍♀️I think he'll be here for a little while, so we're figuring out new routines and new rhythms for this next season of life. ❤️ Thank you all for your encouragement, kindness, and support in this journey.
.
I actually debated sharing any of this because it just feels so incredibly personal. But I was at a meeting with a group of people from various churches around Richmond who feel called to support foster care. We talked about the literal, tangible need for more people to open their homes to children. It's not just numbers and statistics. It's real children who don't have a place to call home. And if there's a chance that this little post might nudge someone to explore what being a foster parent could look like, then I'm here to share. (And seriously, DM me if you're looking for a place to get started! I'd love to connect you with an organization in your area!)
.
I'll end with a gentle reminder the goal of foster care is to preserve family relationships whenever possible. Every situation is unique and foster care isn’t about finding “better” homes for kids. It’s about working with families during hard times to ensure a safe and loving environment for a child. ❤️
