I've been gone from here for over a year. It was an adventurous
year, and some things made me really happy. I'll tell the happy and maybe skip the not so happy.
My husband and I have been foster parents three different times in our 46 year marriage, so our three older kids are used to having different children in our home. I secretly have hoped that our biographic kids would want to come on board and be a foster home, too. Our oldest daughter fostered, and adopted an adorable little boy back in 2003. The road has been long and difficult for this boy, but it'll be worth it. Love never fails! Then last year our second daughter and her husband fostered three siblings. These children had been horribly abused, and the baby has had a couple of brain surgeries for fractured skull and brain bleeds. But in spite of the physical and emotional wounds of these children, daughter has decided to adopt these precious children. I am very proud of these two daughters of ours. We will have a grand total of 12 grandchildren! This is a thrilling time for our family.
In June I turned 65 and retired. I'm still trying to figure it all
out. Retirement is not for the faint of heart!

Dianne...hope I spelled your name right. My husband and are 65 and have talked about doing teh foster care, older children. YOu make it sound hard but worth while. We do travel some for our ministry so not sure how that would work. But we are at least praying about it. Good post
