January 2, 2012 Funny thing I have learned in the last six years, being involved with the foster/adoption system is that God doesn't always call us out, fully equipped with what we need to fulfill his purpose for us. The spirit's leading started for us in a small white trailer on .68 of an acre. The spirit's leading was clear and we chose obedience,regardless of the fact we were living in a trailer. At that time we had our precious two-year-old daughter Julia and were enjoying her every step. Being a type 1 diabetic, complicated my ability for a healthy pregnancy with Julia, and that led us to investigate adoption.
Michael and I where in the process of planning and building a home on our property when hurricane Katrina hit the South very hard. I remember a pastor friend of ours bringing a paper to our home with details on how to help the children who where left without homes and family. It struck a chord with me and made my heart ache for those children. We moved into our home in April of that year. Shortly after we made a phone call to our local agency and requested information on fostering children and adopting .
From that call, it was exactly three months of training, paper work, clearances, and dedication for our home study and approval to be accepted and complete. In that time, another phone call took place that would change our lives forever....................
