It's official! We're expecting!!
In November we will be re-opening our foster license. We will be a foster family to a baby girl 0-3 months old. Of course we would love to adopt again, but it doesn't typically happen as quickly/easily as it did with our older 2. We are looking forward to this new journey! We do not know how long we will get to keep each baby girl, but we are thankful for the opportunity to love and care for some babies.
When we told Mya, she spent ten minutes dancing around the house in her underwear singing, "We're getting a baby girl! ooohhh yeahhh! oooo yeahh! Its a girl! A baby girl!" and today I overheard her reassuring Judah that he'll always be her favorite baby, even though she might be a little busy now helping mommy with a new, smaller baby. She also begged me to buy Judah a potty so that she can start potty-training him. "Mommy, we don't want to mess with two babies in diapers at once, so we should get to work and make Judah use the toilet." And every night she's been praying, "God, please bring us a baby girl who was getting abused so badly so we can love her and help her get better."
Marcel on the other hand has been having "conversations" with Judah as well. He's been trying to teach Judah how to resist girl germs and told Judah it's time to get serious and start praying Mommy and Daddy change their mind and get a boy instead...otherwise, the women won't outnumber the girls anymore. His prayer a few nights ago was, "God, please have CPS drop off a boy by accident."
And Judah is clueless about how his world is about to change...but is excitedly saying that we're getting "a babay" :)
Hooray! We missed this post somehow. So very excited for you all. :)
