Many of you have asked how you can help us during this difficult time. I have two simple requests.
1. Don't judge me. If I break out crying in front of you, or if I don't. After crying for many hours this weekend, I'm almost dried up.
2. Bring chocolate. Lots of it. Better yet, just drop it off and let Bry, LL and me have some alone time.
LL's quotes:
- (Referring to my legs, which I shaved this morning) "They kinda look like chicken legs. They're so poofy and black. And I can see your sweat holes." I have no words!
- "I'm rude enough to talk with food in my mouth, but I'm not rude enough to punch someone."

About Us:
We began our foster journey in mid-August 2013. We finished our classes in October, had our home study in early January, and we were licensed on February 7, 2014. After seven calls from CPS, we received our first placement, a 7-year-old girl (our Little Lady, or LL for short) on April 3, 2014. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our journey through the craziness that is foster care. Most importantly, thanks for your prayers, love, and support. We hope to encourage fellow foster/adoptive parents as we document our ups and downs each day.

The boxes made me cry an ugly cry
ReplyDeletethe pink tape made me sad! :( I cant imagine having to do all your doing .. I have no words.. only I am so incredibly amazed at how God has proven his love for all of you through this time.. LL has grown up so much.. she is a precious little girl.. and the parents God gave her for the past 6 months will be in her heart forever.... You and Brian are such a blessing. I will continue to pray for all of you this week as I know this is a rough time... but hopefully God will walk you through it (and lots of chocolate!!! :)
