Back on the site again!
After a short visit to the US this past summer to spend time with our four college kids we returned on July 9.
Just 10 days after our return we received a call from the Pro-Life ministry here at Evangel Hospital that there was a new born, who had been dropped at the hospital, in need of a foster home. We gladly welcomed Maxwell into our home just hours after his birth. He has been a joy to us as we nurtured him for the past four months.
Last week we received another call saying there was a woman who had just delivered and this newborn needed a home. Yes, we did indeed take in another baby! So for the past week we had four month old adorable Maxwell and a newborn Elizabeth in our home. Needless to say there were many bottles to prepare and diapers to change. But these children are SO precious.
On Wednesday of this week we had the joy of giving these sweet babies over to their new adoptive parents. These couples were SO excited to receive these precious children after praying for a child for many years. It was a great privilege to pray for them and be a part of this special event.
But of course we are feeling like empty nesters as we now only have nine year old Luke, also a foster child, and our own seventeen year old Jacob in our home. We can sleep through the night and do not have to have an ear open for a waking baby in the afternoons. We do love to do foster care and will continue to pray for Maxwell and little Elizabeth as they settle in their new families.
