Destinee

A couple weeks ago I got an unexpected phone call from Destinee's (our very first foster baby) Mom. She was graduating from rehab and her and Destinee were doing great! They got their own apartment, she is going to school and Destinee turns a year old this month. I am so grateful that she called and gave us an update. She also said she wanted to keep us a part of her lives which is wonderful!



This last weekend we were able to take Destinee and keep her overnight. It was a wonderful visit, Destinee and Jocelyn had the best time playing and Joss was SO happy to see her again. She is already asking when she is coming over again so this is something that will have to be repeated often! Destinee is a smiling, happy baby (who sleeps through the night unlike my own :)) and I think she actually remembered us on some level which left all of us with warm fuzzies.



Since we are expecting Brinley we don't have the bedrooms to continue fostering until we are able to finish our basement. We are going to keep our license current so that as soon as that happens we can welcome another child. Until then we are in the process of becoming mentors for those foster kids who age out of the system and find themselves all alone with no support. We are looking forward to our future experiences especially since I think this is a part of the system that gets overlooked often.
