Our story is different. We chose to foster in the hopes of one day having a child placed with us that would become available for adoption. We had many children come to us as foster children who left to be reunited with their birthfamilies. I cried for so many of them. Each one left a huge hole in my heart. I never knew how I'd continue to foster. Love the children as my own, only to have them leave one after another.
Eventually, after many years of fostering, we were placed with two sibling groups who would end being our forever children. NOW I am so happy. At the time I didn't know that they were "the ones", but I trusted God to open my heart to whomever He would choose to be my children.
Trust in your heart that the child meant to be yours will find his or her way to your home. I had so hoped for a little girl and have ended up adopting two little girls who came with their wonderful brothers. I wouldn't trade my sons for the world. There's something very special about boys!
