the thing about foster care...
is not knowing.
one week from tomorrow, we will be in court.
most LIKELY, they won't go home that day.
most LIKELY, we will be given a timeline for their reunification.
most LIKELY, that is to occur before Aug 20
uncertainty.
getting them dressed for church today... i find myself being pickier about their clothes... want people to remember how cute they are, how well we care for them...
silly...
but the only thing i can control at this moment...
thankful for the time we have had...
thankful for their reunification...
thankful for the healing in their parents lives...
ready for this crazy roller-coaster of emotions to be over... but know it never will really be over...
in some ways, i'm ready for them to go home...
if you've ever had a one year old and a 2.5 year old in the same house... you know the cravings for quiet and rest
but i will never be ready to say good-bye

You have beautifully summed up the process and feelings of reunification in the world of foster care.
