Happy National Daughter’s Day to my most wonderful and favorite girl @kadi_goodheart (Well until she ditched me and moved to WY) 🤣 Beautiful inside and out, saving the world one child at a time. Haven’t had a “cheers” in a bit, but we’ll be making up for lost time soon. How much God must love me to have sent me you. #cheers #LUM #bestdaughterever #nationaldaughtersday #everydayisdaughterday #fosteringlove #chooselove #notjustsfostetmom https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci8tmKSJD9O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hurricane Sally is a huge deal however the disparity between the number of churches in each of the counties in Northwest Florida and the number of children in each county that are displaced because of removal from their homes due to abuse, neglect, drugs, and a myriad of other reasons is unsatisfactory. If 10% of the families in each church would become foster parents how much of an impact could be made in the lives of those families who are trying to reunify and get their lives straight. How many gospel conversations would be made? How could Jesus be magnified? Numbers in black equal the number of churches in a county and the numbers in white are the estimated numbers of children in foster care.

This is Remi. He is my foster dog and is up for adoption. He looks small in this picture but he's about 40 lbs of love! He is very smart and easily trained if you have patience. It'll be an uphill battle if you don't. Lol! I leave him in my house when I go to work and he doesn't chew up anything or go potty in the house. He makes a Chewbacca-like growl when he wants attention. Ask him if he wants outside. If he heads to the door, you know. More often though he just wants you to pet him and scritch him behind the ears. If you have to give him medicine, take half of a piece of bread and put butter or bacon drippings on it and roll up the pill in it. He'll eat it. Hot dogs don't work, neither does cheese or plain bread. Trust me. Do not yell at him unless you like cleaning up urine. Firm voice works but don't yell. It's counterproductive. He is social with humans and other dogs but I don't know how he is with kids. He won't snap at anyone unless they annoy him with excessive rough play. He also gets slangry. You know how humans get hangry? Well, Remi gets angry when he's really sleepy and you try to physically move him. Never have I seen that in a dog. Remi was in a kennel the first 3 years of his life, they only took him out to poop and pee. He really doesn't know what grass is and it took time for him to learn to potty on the grass. He has a kennel but hates it so much I do everything I can to not put him in it. Finally, I love this dog but am moving into a place in my life where I to work one 40-hour job and then three little part-time jobs. So that leaves almost no time for Remi. It's not fair to him. But I would really appreciate if whoever adopts Remi would friend me on Facebook so I can at least see his progress.

Foster Care Experience

My family was a foster family growing up. I was about 10 when we started. Over the years we've had countless children stay with us. Mostly under the age of 3. I was big sister to all of them and became used to "problem children". I learned early on which games would help a child learn to speak better, help them eat healthy foods, sooth nightmares and temper tantrums, and facilitate development of mental and motor skills. Most children came to us with some ghost or two in the closet. For every 10 kids we had 9 would go home to situations we knew weren't safe. But there would always be a happy ending that made it worth it.

One boy we had for a long time was severely overweight and couldn't see out of one eye. He was socially challenged and had a laundry list of difficulties to overcome. We loved him so much.

He was our biggest happy ending. He was such a happy healthy boy. A cousin of his applied to adopt him. She lived in a little house by a beautiful lake. His grandparents lived right next door. She loved him so much and the day we took him to go with her home he was in the back of our van and he cried out "that's my mommy!" upon seeing her. My mom couldn't stop crying tears of love and happiness that night when telling us the story. He now has another brother and looks so happy in pictures we see of him.

Our last foster was a little baby boy. He was born prematurely, on the floor of a crack house. You can fill in the rest. My mom visited him at the hospital for the first three days of his life bonding until we could take him home. After our last boy we fell in love with, we tried to keep from loving our babies. There is a difference between showing love to someone and loving them. We showed love to all of our kids but tried not to fall in love with them.

We fell hard for this little baby. He was perfect. The most beautiful baby on earth. Through the withdrawal from drugs our whole family quickly decided we needed to adopt him. Although the biological family was supportive of us having him, the bio mom knew she would never have him back, there was a lot of red tape in the way. Our baby had a lot of older brothers in other homes, social services generally tries to keep kids together, so there was a high chance they would move him.

We fought to keep him, the scariest feeling is loving someone and knowing that any moment they could be taken away without any notice. It's different than having a child apprehended. They want that kid to go back with you. It's very expensive having a child in foster care. You have every opportunity to get your child back if you do as told by social services. There is no such chance when adopting through fostering. We lived like that for a year and a half. Winning small victories through the red tape seperating us from him.

Then, his birth mom got pregnant again. We loved this boy so much, we wanted his sibling equally, to keep them together. But they were slotted to go to another family, and we were being prepped to take on our boys older brother, who was very happily placed in another foster family far away. None of us wanted this to be the situation.

One day, while my mom was in the shower, the phone rang, I answered it and was asked to give the phone to my mom. I said she was unavailable at the moment but could I take a message?

"I have a baby girl here just born and was wondering if you wanted her?"

I asked the caller to hold on, ran to the bathroom and banged loudly on the door "MOM! THE BABY WAS BORN! THEY WANT TO KNOW IF WE WANT HER!"

The shower turned off and my mom rushed to open the door, only a towel on, soap streaming down her hair. She grabbed the phone and after a quick conversation went back to her shower.

And that's how we got our princess. The normal social worker was on vacation. A friend of ours was filling in and knew we wanted the baby. We got in a bit of trouble for doing that but they let what was done be done. I believe their older brother was later adopted by his foster family as well.

It took 2 years for the adoption to be finalized. Its normally much shorter. Oddly enough it's because our situation was perfect and there were no hiccups. It wasnt a high enough priority. One day we had some government workers visit and when they found out how long the adoption process was they red tagged it to speed it up.

We were happily situated with our family. My little brother and sister are perfect. And I'm happy they have someone who is fully blood related to them so they might not feel as along as they navigate their feelings. They are much older now. Still kids though. We don't lie to them about the adoption. But we dont volunteer information about it. They are just as much my siblings as any of my other family members. That will never change.

A couple years after the adoption, I was about 17, my mom told me that they had two younger siblings that were still with the bio mom. She had moved cities and escaped from having them apprehended. I cried over the idea my siblings younger brother and sister growing up in an abusive and drug filled home. Through our connection with the bio family we knew enough about the birth mom should NOT have these children. At one point we had the little girl for a day or two. Looking into the eyes that looked so much like my sister and seeing the signs of an abused and neglected child hurt more than anything I had ever experienced before. To this day I still tear up thinking about her.

This is my story of the foster system. It is one of many. I am a better person for it.

Potter Generation

So my generation has been called the Potter Generation, and I started thinking about how there are so many people I know in my generation signing up to be foster parents because they never want to see kids have no where to go. They want to make sure they grow up in a home where they are loved or in a home where at least one parent is putting them on their priority list. Then I started thinking about how we all grew up reading about and watching as Harry experienced terrible things at the Dursleys and at Hogwarts. We watched as he felt unloved until a stranger knocked down a door, told him he was special, and celebrated his birthday for the first time. We watched as a family took him in as their own as often as they could, never asking him for anything except to make himself at home. We watched him starve and hide food. We watched him cry out in his sleep only to be harassed instead of comforted. We watched him be locked up in a cupboard under the stairs, and, as spectators, we could do nothing... So now, as adults, subconsciously we remember what we couldn’t do for a boy who felt so real but wasn’t and decide to step up and do whatever we can for the kids who are real and are hiding food so they won’t starve, are crying out in their sleep to people who don’t care, and are being locked in closets, cupboards, basements, chained to beds, or wandering a hotel by themselves because their parents are gone (those last two have happened in the past year alone. 13 kids chained to beds in the basement in Chicago and a 1 year old girl left alone at a hotel somewhere in Illinois so her mom could go out partying).

We are the Potter Generation. We are Millennials. We’re not going to let this happen willingly. We’ll do what we can because we care and we know the consequences of refusing to love a child the way he or she deserves. #always
