3 years going on forever(!!)

Man, I am the most inconsistent blogger on the planet earth.

Several of the comments from previous posts have asked for an update. Here it is, Reader's Digest-style.

*My first placement, M & J, were placed with me in March 2011.

*Since then, I've had several other beautiful children come and go... plus, others who came to me just for respite...

*The social workers of this fine Commonwealth of KY picked a huge fight with me in January 2013. Big mistake for them. It was one of the hardest conflicts I've ever faced in my life. But I won. (God fought for me.)

*As of this month, I'm actually closing my home because.... I'm adopting little J!! In March, he'll have been with me for 3 years.... and he's not going anywhere! Our adoption will be finalized this spring sometime. His story, our story, is pretty interesting, and it definitely deserves to be told. Someday. 

*Yes, I'm still single. Never planned to adopt as a single woman, but here we are.... It's crazy, absolutely insane, and 100% God's idea.... therefore, it's the most beautiful gift I've ever been given...

Stay tuned because I am hoping to post something soon as a guest writer for SingleRoots.com  This is one of my favorite blogs these days... and I would love to be able to contribute something to it about this journey of orphan care in your own home, even as a single adult.... I just want to share this story, but my hope is that it will also motivate single men and woman to consider fostering even before marriage if it's something God has laid upon their hearts...

Peace out!! :):)

Gotta get this stuff published, yo!

Oh.My.Gosh.

I just logged into this dusty old blog, and I found several comments from women across the country who reached out to me from the same unique position of being single foster mommies. I am so touched.

I know how isolating it can feel when you look around the world and you feel like NOBODY else knows what it's like to be you... That's why I actually started this blog. I went to the library and realized there were NO books for or by or about single foster mommies.

So it's been **awesome** to see this blog work as even an itsy-bitsy magnet for other women like me! Like, sooooo cool. Seriously.

That's why I am convinced that I need to write. This story, OUR story, it needs to be told. Ladies, let's do this!
