For the moment, we plan to maintain our certification while taking some time to allow our daughter’s and ourselves to live life outside of foster care! We fully plan to stay involved with our various activities and initiatives, and to return to fostering when the time is right for our family! We also, Lord willing, would love the opportunity to adopt another child. Just as we did 3 years ago, we lift our hands to Jesus and say, “Have your way in us Lord.” ❤
