Foster Care Awareness Month! EVERYONE can do something!! 💙

Today is May 1st & the start of .

I get that that it’s easier to look away than to deal with the broken system, but if it’s not us, then who will it be? The 300,000+ kids living in foster care need you.

We are not all called to do the same thing, but we can find a way to help & do something.

Some food for thought: People often say foster parents do it for the money; however, in Texas foster parents only receive $27.07 a day as reimbursement that doesn’t always cover a child’s basic expenses.

Foster care can be a misunderstood and often misrepresented topic. It's time to separate fact from fiction and learn about the realities of foster care.

Did you know that foster parents often receive a stipend that doesn't fully cover the cost of caring for a child? Or that foster care can lead to adoption or long-term guardianship? Let's dispel the myths and support the loving families who open their hearts and homes to children in need.

On Monday, 01/22/24, we added our 6th "adopted" grandchild from foster care officially (along with 3 by birth). We had the complete joy of being this little's foster parents for 18 months, then forming a relationship with his adoptive parents as they had him in their home for the 6-month transition period required in Texas, and then finally meeting more of his extended family of other grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. at the courthouse for him to tell foster care "peace out". We will get to continue to act as another set of grandparents and support this sweet boy and his amazing family!

The foster-adopt symbol is the triangle interlocking with a heart. Each point of the triangle represents the adoption triad of the child, birth family, and adoptive family. The heart represents the love involved in an adoption relationship. We are so very thankful to be part of that heart.

We've been on a break since this little one moved from our home but we are now getting our training back in order and will keep you updated on our journey! What a beautiful ride.

True happiness is realizing that your children have turned out to be really good people.
