This little bug moved to a pre-adoptive home today, after being part of our family for over 10 months.
She joined us for a few days around Thanksgiving of 2020. Then came back into our home, as a placement, on February 6, 2021. She was only 16 months old. She came to us as a serious and shy girl with many fears. She has grown and blossomed into a smiley, giggly, strong, and independent girl. She turned 2 back on October 16.
I don't have enough space or words to tell of all the lessons each of us have learned while having her in our home. The joy & challenges she has brought. I also don't have time to tell of all the ways we have seen God's hand in guiding our family and His fingerprint on her life.
After months of prayer, we feel that God is asking us to continue to saying YES to foster care. In North Carolina, you can only have 5 children total in your home, in order to be licensed foster parents. So we prayed through saying YES to adoption or YES to foster care. It was a difficult decision, but since making the decision God has given us peace. He has also given us more peace and reassurance as the pre-adoptive family, that was selected, are friends of ours, who also know and love Jesus.
