foster: To Parents

Your children LOVE you. They love you even though you have weaknesses. All they want is to feel wanted, loved and needed by you. No matter what you do they will love you. Young children who have been abandoned, neglected, and abused love their parents, want to protect their parents, and just want to be with their parents. So parents become a permanent fixture in your child’s life. Make sure they know you will be there tomorrow. Do what you can do to insure that you will be. Cut out those things in your life that may prevent you from being there- things that may take you away from your children, physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Take a minute and spend some time with your children, laughing, talking, playing. One day they will wake up and you will be gone. Leave some memories for them to hang onto. Love your children.

This post made me really emotional. I feel like I need to print this out and post it by my bed so I read it everyday. Thanks.

Amen. It's so frustrating see what happens to children when their needs are not met. It gives me a ton more sympathy for kids that have had to deal with parents that don't provide these things. You're doing a fantastic job E and J. You guys are providing a great home with all of the things you have mentioned.
