Did I tell you about my son and his wife's good deed?

14 years ago

They have taken into their loving home two precious girls, age 11 and 8 as their foster children.

Long story, but they are in a loving home for now.

I had them last Sunday, for lunch, and they are so precious

I'm Ms G for them to call me.

Got big hugs from both when they were leaving.

A good feeling. Yes!

    They sounds great and maybe they need each other. I hope it's a very good experience. The kids are lucky to have you too.

    Isn't it nice to see something good happening to those who need it. I applaud your Son and Dil. Those girls are sure lucky!

    God will certainly bless them for that. It's a huge responsibility...I know...we took in a child as a Foster. She was a student in my class. We later went on to adopt her. Is this their first experience with Fostering?

    Thank GOD for foster homes - I was raised in one, along with my sister. Another family took in my 2 brothers. Give your son and wife a hug from me and a big GOD BLESS YOU!

    Glenda, first thing I read this morning, and one of first posts since computer back up...how wonderful for these girls. I can tell they will learning immediately, what it is like to have a really nice support G-ma and caring family...bet that handsome grandson of yours will be one of the bestest 'brothers'. Suppose you are planning where you could take them already? I had a foster daughter for few years. Older - 15, same age and 'friend' of my own daughters but too difficult on my DD.

    God Bless Them! This is a super good deed and you are one super Grandma to be so accepting and supportive, Ms G. My hubby's brother and his wife did a good deed years ago. Their sons were friends with a boy named Jared. Jared's parents were moving out of state but Jared wanted to stay in his same school. So BIL and wife unofficially "fostered" him for a year. He was treated just like their own son, celebrated Christmas and Birthdays like one of their own. It was beautiful. Jared is now in his 30's and keeps in touch.

    Are they sisters? That is wonderful, and I hope all goes well for your family and the girls. Will they be starting school soon? They are lucky to have a fantastic Ms G.

    How did the sisters come into care? Is this their first foster home? Have your DS and DIL had any training/support for the demands of their commitment?

    Bless you, Glenda. I hope that they enrich your life as much as Parke has. Your son and DIL are angels.

    Bless their hearts!!!!! There should be more people in the world like them!!
    DB & DSIL have a little boy living with them right now. He is about 19 months old. Long and sad story, but I give them credit for taking him (he's a relatives child) She is DH's age. (56) I am not sure I'd have the energy to do it. I don't know the legalities of their story, eventually the mother will have a chance to get the little boy back. I know there will be some hearts broken in the end (theirs & the little guy) if/when he leaves.But they have done the right thing for the child.

    It's hard to imagine how afraid little children are when they're taken into a new home. It can't be all easy for your DS and DIL either, but I know those girls will hate to leave when and if the time comes.
