We said goodbye to our foster kids at the very beginning of April and haven't had any new placements. Very purposefully. We kindly asked our agency not to call us until we are ready again.
We decided we needed some time to enjoy life embracing time with one another without the added stressors of fostering.
Life has slowed way down and we are enjoying the time to simply be.
I took the girls on a massive road trip to visit one of our 'all grown up' kiddos.
It was amazing, just what the doctor ordered.
I don't know how long it will last, but this break was oh so necessary for my family.
Dealing with hurting kids, and foster agencies, and broken families is tough stuff.
It's ok to take a break.
For a week, for a month, forever.
Today I am feeding my soul, and focusing on my children, healing from the hurt of the first two years of fostering.
It will take some time for us to decide if there will be a third year or not.
No deciding yet.
For now we are just breathing in life.
