That's great Angie. My step brother and his wife are foster parents and love it. So is my step sister and her husband. I know lots of foster parents and they love all love doing it.
I hope the little guy's journey isn't too difficult.
God's blessings!
Oh Angie, How exciting!!!! Such a little tiny thing too! I'm sure you will be a very good fostermom to him. You always seem sensible and caring in your posts. Good luck and congratulations.

congrats, my DD was that size when she was born - so tiny!! fostering is such a great thing to do, my SIL was fostered long term for 14 yr ( after my MIL died the family were split up) and her foster mum is the nicest woman I ever met, Ciara and jamie call her their granny
Good luck! How long will you have him for?
