Mimi, Thanks for posting. I am so sorry to hear of your situation. Foster care is never easy. At least letting the children go is not, like you said even in good situations it's hard. It is times like this that makes me thankful to know that God will not give us more than we can handel. As much as I would like to understand why things like this happen I think there are things we just are not supposed to understand. Our ways are not His ways. I believe that God sends us the children He wants us to have and for the amount of time He wants us to have them. Even if we don't agree with it. Thru this God has blessed us in so many ways, He is giving us so much peace right now. I admit that i have still had moments of tears but they will leave with time. It is just part of grieving the loss. I think people are called to foster. And loss is part of fostering. Sometimes the pain makes me question if this is really worth it or if God really wants me to foster. But the answer is always YES. And I am so thankful for all the children He has brought into our lives and the ones yet to come. As much as I am hurting today I can't imagine life without God or fostering. This verse popped out at me today so I thought I would share it. ( Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.)

God Bless,
Jill
