In our foster care classes we learned about a term called concurrent planning. As a foster parent, the goal is to reunite families and yet at the same we must realize that sometimes reunification will not happen. In our situation, we have told our agency that we are willing to adopt our three foster children if the need arises.
The other day as I was thinking about this, I realized something that made my breath catch in my throat and then I laughed because it was all I could do at the moment.
You ready?
If we end up adopting these kiddos, we will have SIX TEENAGERS AT ONE TIME!!!
19, 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13!!
Lord have mercy!! This is why I am thankful I don't know the future. One day at a time. One step in front of the other....
