Thank you for being a piece of the puzzle.

Each piece represents a person who took a part in these girls life so that they may grow up in a safe place. Away from a chaotic world. 

Each person helped guide us, advise us, and provide us with the resources we needed to help these girls. These were not the best of circumstances. We did not know what the outcome would be. Only the Lord knows. 

Our Prayer.

We pray that future foster parents/adoptive parents/biological parents are able to gain the help and resources they need to help out children who are in similar circumstances.

We know this is not a celebration. It never is when a child cannot be with his or her biological parents due to unfortunate circumstances. I wish the girls could be with their parents, but not in a chaotic world.  I wish the parents put their children first instead of their own selfish needs.  In our case, one parent did. One parent knew she could not care for her girls. That’s what brought us into their world permanently. I do not celebrate the way I became a parent. But, I do celebrate that the Lord brought these girls out of a chaotic world. I pray he can do the same for others who suffer from their parents poor choices.

A Helping Hand- Thank you!

Thank you for the lawyers who read over every note, every law. For the judge who went strictly by the law and not on emotion. Thank you for the CASA Workers who helped find a safe place for the girls. For the counselors who spoke with the girls and gave a safe haven for them to see their biological parents. Thank you to the teachers who took part in these girls lives to teach them, and nurture them when they fell behind not only in academics, but in emotional and behavioral ways. Thank you to the friends and family who showed support, love, and lifted us up in prayer during this process. But most of all,

Thank’s be to GOD!

This is not a celebration, but a completion.  This is God’s way. No child should have to live apart from their biological parents. But when the child is safer away from them, I am thankful for everyone who helps out and gives a hand.  It is not an easy job.  But I thank you. And I thank you for allowing my husband and I to be apart of these girls lives. We are truly blessed to have such joy in our hearts.  

Family=Complete

We now have a family.  The girls have parents who can take care of them, provide for them, and will not abandon them.  I pray that God gives us the strength to be good parents to them and not to place anything before them unholy. Parents should not choose something ungodly before their children.  

Unfortunately, many parents do.  They choose finding a mate or sex, which becomes more important than raising a child. They choose alcohol and drugs to get a temporary high, or power and money, something that can be taken away in an instant.  The child may not always be in rags or homeless.  Some children are the richest and still feel abandoned or neglected by their parents.  Does your dating life come before your child? Does your career come before your child? Your drug addiction or alcohol addiction come before your child?  The only thing that comes before your child is 1. God 2. Your Spouse Worldly things should not.
