That was wonderfully stated. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I think we will probably do fostering again....if we decide to stop completely after this last baby leaves. But it will be in the way distant future, when our children are grown and out of the house.

If we decide to keep only 1 baby at a time...after he leaves...then we will only do it...until we decide to stop...or move away from this base...which will likely be...in the next year to two years.

Our next major decision....is constantly on our minds.

Do we stay in the military...or re-enlist. There are benefits to both. The main benefit...if we got out is being able to move close to family so our kids can actually KNOW their grandparents and aunts uncle's and cousins. Or to stay in for the insurance and financial stability...but only be able to see family once or twice a year...when possible.

Life is full of these difficult decisions...I am so grateful we live in a nation where there are so many possibilities and freedoms.....I just hope that when we find the answer to that question...we will find the same peace about it...that I have felt as we have decided to stop fostering.

Maybe you guys can also give me some insight...on my next...big decision. You have already beenso helpfull.
