The Journey Begins

- Post by Foster Dad

All it takes is one phone call for life as you know it to change forever. Just 8 days after we became officially approved foster parents, the phone rang and 4 hours later we were heading home with a complete stranger in the car... a completely cute four year-old stranger, to be exact.

On the way to pick her up, so many questions were spilling out. What will she call us? Will she be scared to drive away with us? Should one of us sit next to her in the back seat on the way home? Little did we know these would be the first of many issues that we would need to figure out as new parents trying to raise someone else's child in our home.

This blog highlights our journey as foster parents. It's not a How To and it's not a Tell All. It's just a bunch of tidbits, thoughts, feelings and stories about being a foster parent.
