One of my dearest friends has the job of removing these children from their situations and placing them with angels like you. So I know at least second-hand what is involved here and your stories just touch me every time I read them....I mean literally make me teary. I'm so happy you've found this calling, it suits you! And what a lucky guy (and lucky future kids!) that get placed with you & your fun little world!Gina @ Feather Your Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632582057498221494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-74825634790801356822008-01-27T17:53:00.000-05:002008-01-27T17:53:00.000-05:00Awesome!

You are right about "multiplication"...in fact I wrote about just that on my blog recently...the more children you bring into your family, the more you love them all. It's true. As for heartbreak, I know about that too, having lost my beautiful 17 year old son in an accident. I know for sure, that all of the love you share...you and this little one, will bless you both forever! I don't mean to be pushy, but the website www.a4everfamily.org is full of ideas for children who have been through trauma (my daughter spent the first year of her life in an orphanage). It might help you and your little charge get a bit of shuteye. The best to you... what a beautiful thing it is to read about your lovely days with baby!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05146944690089955629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-21366543549967561132008-01-26T16:33:00.000-05:002008-01-26T16:33:00.000-05:00I love the story of your dad's response and I can ...I love the story of your dad's response and I can see that growing up in such a loving family has set the scene perfectly for this new adventure.

It's always a risk to let your heart love, because nothing in life stays the same, nothing lasts forever, but you are making a mark in this child's heart that will never be erased. He will have known love. God bless you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-39198730639241927232008-01-26T15:24:00.000-05:002008-01-26T15:24:00.000-05:00Amy, you and Rich have two of the mmost precious, ...Amy, you and Rich have two of the mmost precious, loving hearts!

You are making such a difference in this baby's life. I know it seems like he's too young to know the difference, but your love will impact him eternally. I really believe that!<BR/>And as for the sleepless night- I'm sorry. Babies just do that sometimes and you get to play the baby guessing game. Is he wet? Is he teething? Is he getting sick? etc. etc. It's not a fun game. Hang in there- it sounds like you're doing just great!<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617802221809057318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-76117125249334049242008-01-26T12:35:00.000-05:002008-01-26T12:35:00.000-05:00Great attitude, God will bless you!!Happy hearts,C...Great attitude, God will bless you!!<BR/>Happy hearts,<BR/>Carrie<BR/>NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-48236485024091595722008-01-26T11:23:00.000-05:002008-01-26T11:23:00.000-05:00Bless you Amy and Rich.

Every night our faily says a little prayer for you and yours as you go on this journey. <BR/><BR/>We have discussed fostering in our family, but find that we are continuelly drawn to another type of fostering, homeless pups. Right now we have 6 in our pack, two that need homes. But for now they are loved and snuggled and treated as family. Just like your baby, they too will have a different home later, but for now, they are so completely ours that we wouldn't want to ever miss these few days full of fun and love that we have with them. <BR/><BR/>I imagine that you two feel something similar. Anyway, thank you and I know heaven is multiplying all the love you give threefold and sending it back to you.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142977626149490155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-60457937944202586952008-01-26T11:16:00.000-05:002008-01-26T11:16:00.000-05:00I've been lurking for a while now (doesn't that so...I've been lurking for a while now (doesn't that sound so . . . icky?) and I wanted to thank you for writing about your fostering experience here. My husband and I can't have kids and I stumbled onto your blog around the same time about a hundred other arrows were pointing toward fostering. We probably won't be ready for it for a year or so, but I just wanted to let you know that you and your philosophy and open heart have been very inspiring.<BR/><BR/>Have fun with the little one, and thanks.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352110108858430996noreply@blogger.com
