Quick foster update...The paternal grandparents came forward today and said they want the little boy. So we are basically going to keep him while the grandparents get background checks and other paperwork taken care of. Their initial background check came back clean, so it looks pretty good for them to get him. Im grateful he has someone in his family that wants him, but Im so sad to have him go. I wonder what the Lord wanted us to do for him and then I found out this afternoon. I had to take him to the doctor today and he is very malnourished. Basically the doctors orders are to fatten him up as fast as I can. Well, he came to the right house for that!! So we went grocery shopping today looking for the highest calorie milk and pudding we could find. I've never had to look for the most fattening stuff I could find. I have to admit, it was a problem I would like to have. Anyway, Im not really liking the foster thing right now and Im having to work extra hard to trust Heavenly Father. I do know that it will all work out... I just had hoped that this little guy would be ours. I fell in love with him the first night he was here. Oh well. Lessons to be learned so I had better get learning them.

But it's good that at least you were there for him when he needed you. Prayers for you that you will receive what is best for your family.
Enjoy him while you have him. You never know....maybe something will come up with the background checks. Good work on helping him become well nourished. How fun to buy 'fattening' foods! I was thinking...maybe you are supposed to learn something from him. Heavenly Father has a reason for everything. xoxo
Happy Birthday Keith! I look forward to seeing what you've been up to Camille. This is sooo fun! :)
