And they grow

Today made me think...
Today was a good day. We went to the zoo and museum out of town and had a nice time. It is hard to think that I might be willingly jumping back into the whole fostering thing. True, two of my kids are still foster, but we are just waiting on the date, and they have been here for three years. I want to continue fostering very much, but things will be so off for a while, we will struggle time and again for routine and balance. Outings and get togethers will be harder. It will come with great blessings, but I hope I am doing the right thing for my kids. They all have their own needs and we are doing ok now, but will that change when I have more people to look after? I feel this is the right path, and I am not desperate, so I will not just take the first placement they call me with, but still, I hope I have enough sense in me to make sure it is the right one. I know that some people think I am crazy being a single mom of three kids, but I know what I can handle and once you hit three adding more is nothing! ;)

I tend to agree with the rule of anything over two it's all the same! We're approved for 4 kids and my husband was worried we couldn't handle four. I said, well you want two, what's two more? We had two dogs, then we quickly jumped to four dogs, and it didn't really change anything. Thankfully the yard is fenced so we don't have to go for walks, that would be the only hard part.
ReplyDeleteI think you just have to do what feels most comfortable for you and the boys. :)
Thanks! I think once you understand routine you could add half a dozen and things would only change slightly! I believe, that everyone is called for different amounts and if these three are all I ever have, well that will be enough, but sometimes I imagine adopting six now, and since I started young, maybe even more a second time around! lol
