We just learned today that this Friday (today is Monday), the state will be sending Jordyn home to live with his grandma. I have so many thoughts about this, but I think the news is still too fresh for me to make any sense of them. Even though I had been suspecting that this is what they're going to do, it's still hard to imagine having to say goodbye to him again. He is such an awesome kid and has brought so much joy to our lives. We will continue to pray for him to grow up healthy, and to come to know Christ one day. And we pray for Grandma as well, that she will have the wisdom and strength to parent him better than she parented Jordyn's mom.
I've had so many people this week ask me why we keep foster parenting, especially with all of the sadness we've experienced recently. And as difficult as it is, I really can't imagine NOT doing it. I know God has called us to this ministry and we just hope that one day we will have a kid (or two or three, or . . .) that we won't have to ever say goodbye to. Some of you may think we're crazy to do this, but I know we're doing a good thing, and more than that, I know we're doing exactly what God wants us to do.
