I went to my first foster care support group meeting last week as well. Its a big group of local foster parents that get together and talk about challenges, a place where you can ask experts questions, and also get continuing education. It was very informational but I did hear some really crazy stories! It reinforced that its not an easy road but its very rewarding.
We will be completing our "home study" in the next month or so and we need a few things in order to pass. Foster care is different in some ways in that they are very strict on what needs to be in the home. I have included a link for our Amazon "wish list" and would love it if you could check it out and help us out in way you can to get our house ready for these kids in need. Anything little or big can help in a big way, so pay it forward :)
What I am excited for this summer is yard sales! I know I will be able to find a ton of kiddo stuff and it will be inexpensive enough that if needed I can send the children home with things they dont have once they are reunited with their bio parents.
Our dream is trucking right along, its exciting but also nerve racking at the same time. Its a big step but there is nothing more Ive ever wanted than to be a parent and a mom. This has been such a great adventure so far and I feel so blessed to have family and friends that have encouraged me along the way.
More Bell Family Updates....
Even more exciting news is that Isaac got a new job! He will be a medical scribe for the Emergency Department at Kadlec. Basically its like a paid internship for Nursing and will allow him to learn a ton before he enters the RN program next fall. He finished his last day at Pacific Steel on Friday and gets the next few days off before he starts training. Its going to be a very positive change and will allow Isaac to have a more flexible schedule for school.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
