The five of us fell in love in five seconds. We were a mess sitting on the floor with puppies crawling all over us. This was the dream dog. No shedding. Very obedient. Pleasant personalities. Great with kids. An overall perfect dog for a family….
“Mom, why are you going to Uganda?” Zoie asked me with a frown. I gathered her in my arms and I said, “Baby, it’s a special trip for mommy to help kids with, jiggers in their feet, feel better and loved.” “But, I want you home with me.” she said firmly.
As a little girl, I dreamt of two things when it came to adoption. First, I dreamt of one day adopting a child so I could offer this special gift to a child–just as I had received. And secondly, to one day see a picture of my birth mother (especially her hips—to see what I was up against!) After many years of waiting, the second dream of seeing my birth mother’s picture transpired last Sunday…

It was a good part of our family income. At the same time God placed some very good friends in our lives who just happened to have 3 beautiful children from China.

“It would be impossible to fully understand the life and emotions of a child going through the foster care system, but this short narrative film portrays that saga in a poetic light, with brushes of fear, anger, sadness, and a tiny bit of hope.” If you are a foster parent, I hope this film validates you, encourages you and inspires you on your journey. Thank you foster parents for your radical hospitality!
This week is Spring Break for all three of my kids. We are so happy that Michael joined us from college for a relaxing week at home. Our big plans include: sleeping in, being lazy, family dinners, relaxing and more relaxing. We might venture out to …
