Goodbye Joseph?

While I am all psyched about gears of war finally being released, I have something that is bringing me down.  Me and my fiancé are foster parents, and we have 2 kids right now.  They are both 2 years old.  Matthew has been with us since March 17th and it seems he will be with us for a long time.  His parents have a lot of problems and they’re not getting any better, so we may even adopt him.  Joseph has been with us since August 10th and I just found out yesterday that there is a court hearing today for his mother to get him back.  Good for her, but it’s hard on us.  I will be at work when he leaves (if he goes), so I said goodbye this morning.

 

Here’s what he looked like when we got him:

Goodbye Joseph – you’re a great kid and I enjoyed having you in my home.

I just added you and your family to my list of Heroes. I think that is an awesome, selfless, and noble thing to be foster parents.
