My dream has always been to be a foster parent! I love kids and thought I would have a very large family. Growing up I always told my parents and anyone that would listen that I was going to have 6 children. Well, many years later I have been blessed with 3 wonderful children.
Over the years instead of wanting to have them myself I started to feel a tug on my heart to help children that are out there needing a safe place to be. So, I have started to look into the whole process. I have spoke with our county agency and a public agency. I am so excited that I can't stand it!
Our county agency has a class starting the end of this month, which I would love to sign up for! The problem is that my husband is still a little concerned. Of course, I am nervous too but I completely feel that God has called me to do this.
I have decided instead of continuing to talk to him in my "flesh" that I am going to lay it at God's feet. I am praying that my husband will be willing to step out of his comfort zone and follow what ever path The Lord wants to take us down.
I have been so inspired by what Jen has to share over at http://www.kellerfamilyof9.com. She has been a great source of inspiration to me. Like her I was also adopted and maybe that is also where my passion stems from.
I ask that you please pray the Gods will be done in our lives and that myself and my husband would be obedient to his calling.

You sound exactly where I was one year ago. I had the tugging and overwhelming desire in my heart to foster. I thought I sounded crazy. We didn't jump into it either, we planned our classes and got things in order first. If you need anything, I am here.
