As a Benton county foster family, we received a lovely gift basket with a really beautifully written letter of appreciation from the women's ministry at a local church. This letter had menin tears. They get it. No one could do this without a supportive village. I'm so thankful for my supportive community, and for my amazing family who have been so quick to open their hearts to new members and showered us with outfits and care packages. This is 100% the most difficult way to "have" a baby. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: it isn't about us. It's the encouraging texts and phone calls, letters like this one, and of course, the gift of loving another one of God's children, that make all of the training and the year of ridiculously frustrating preparation process all worth it. It brings me joy every time I see that someone else "gets it", too.
