The difference in the little girl was like night and day. She began to brush the foster moms hair and ask to play make up or dolls with her. She agreed to go to counseling now. She no longer put dirty streaks on her wall or bedding.

She still wet the bed but that was more of an emotional problem and the foster mom knew it and understood.

However William was a totally different story. He kept pushing and doing bad things and the behavioral therapist at the Agency had it out for him. Every time he went to therapy or a parent visit or sibling play time. He would end up being made to sit and unable to participate.

This only made it worse on the foster parents. When... more

The three siblings stayed in this foster home until another child in the home was brutally murdered by the biological son of the foster mom.

The children were immediately moved in the middle of the night to an emergency foster home. Then moved a few days later to the home of a brand new un expecting Foster Parent Home.

Once again the little girl tried her best to do anything she could to make the foster mom give up on her. What the little girl did not know was this foster mom and dad had a very deep relationship with the Lord and their faith just would not allow them to give up on any child.

There were daily food fights between the kids, bad language that you would... more

The little girl missed her brothers and sisters badly. She had never been without them before. She acted out and when the foster parent tried to correct her she would openly laugh in their face.

No time out, no conversation, no act of discipline worked with her. She would refuse to do chores, if you sent her to her room to be quiet she would scream at the top of her lungs for hours at a time. If you put her somewhere to sit down she would stand. If you told her to stand she would sit.

Let the Celebration of Life begin. We are now into the first day of a brand new year. One filled with hope and discovery.

This year will be whatever we work to make it. Yes I did say the word "Work." It is a proven fact that life takes a lot of will power and hard work to make it all that it can be.

Our children should be learning this also. That they must work hard for what they want to accomplish in life. Everything should not come so easy for them. In the past we have provided so much so quickly for our children that it has created lazy and self centered people.

The love and compassion that once filled the soul and eyes of our children is missing. Now we... more
