Friends, the long awaited weekend is here and we will begin our foster care training tomorrow! I'm so excited to move past this point that we've been in for months. Emerson will go to my parents' house for the weekend while Caleb and I spend the weekend in Siloam Springs getting trained. We hope to make a fun-ish weekend out of it by staying in a hotel Saturday night, going on a date and [gasp] doing a little gambling at the casino. Lol... we have allotted each of us $25 to waste.
We are so excited to get the training done with. The lady said that it is usually 8 weeks after the training that your home is opened for a child. I would like to ask for prayers that we can learn a lot at the training and build relationships and community with other foster parents. Pray also that we have discernment about what age of children to take. I mostly still feel like we should do older (ages 6-10), but sometimes I think 'Well, I'm not pregnant yet and a tiny baby would be fun'. So just pray that the Lord will give us discernment and direction when it actually comes time to accept a child.
Well, I just wanted to give you a little update blurb before the weekend. I'll let you know how it goes! Enjoy your weekend!
Just saw this - hope your training went well! We'll have to get together soon; I want to hear all about it!
