Our newest blessings have been with us less than 2 months. The 12 year old told me when they'd been here about a month, "let's face it, you and I both know we (him and his brother) won't be here in 6 months no matter what you say now." That about broke my heart! We had to have a long talk that day. Then yesterday he says, "less than 5 months to go Mama and we'll be here always." That's music to my ears.<br /><br />Our first adoption was 6 years old. It did take her awhile to believe she was staying for always. She's 16 now. It took a couple of mine until finalization to really get it thru their heads that they were here to stay forever and always. Maybe next time Miss S says the littles shouldn't call you mommy, ask her why she doesn't? I did have to give a few of my kids "permission" to love their birth moms and still love us too and that not all kids have the privilege of being loved by more than one mommy. That seemed to help alot.<br /><br />God's Blessings to you and your growing family. Children are a gift from God and I'll take every one that God has entrusted into my care as well.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808437059057372095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467769113952993921.post-36567939755247831522012-10-26T05:49:12.231-07:002012-10-26T05:49:12.231-07:00My momma heart broke reading some of the words of ...My momma heart broke reading some of the words of the young one, I myself was a licensed foster parent for OK before we moved to another state, and I understand the joys and sorrows that come with it.. but I applaud you and the family for doing what needs to be done in our life as Christians...
