Today, I had another foster parenting and personal first.
I spent the day at the courthouse.
It was a long tough day with another two still ahead but it was eye opening for me. Spending a day on a hard church-like pew, just listening to testimony after testimony was incredibly exhausting. Hearing about the family history of the children in my care was heart breaking but in order to understand them better, it's also necessary.
The best part of my day?
Arriving home to five beautiful smiling faces and plenty of hugs. Seeing how much fun that everyone had with Pete and knowing that all these kiddos, my biological kids and my foster kids are safe and thriving.
That makes all this worth it.
Plus all the kids are asleep (other than the baby who needs a final bottle) and its before 9:30. It's a new record! We will have to get that closer to 8 very quickly but for now, it's a small victory.
