Foster Care...

So, Justin and I started our foster classes on Thursday. I actually had a really good time. I think Justin was a little uncomfortable, but he did it, for me. We are very private people, we don't really get out a lot, so taking this class is a big deal for us. We have to talk in front of other adults and get out of our comfort zone. I have to admit, I was extremely nervous, but very happy he was with me. Hopefully, after we take these 10 classes, have some home visits, and A LOT of paperwork, we will be able to help children and have a foster child or children. I know some people probably think we are crazy, but we want to do this. Keeping these two kids from my school this past month has opened my eyes to this need. I may not be able to have my own kids right now, but that doesn't mean I can't help other children. Speaking of my own kids... Since our miscarriage, I keep having dreams of being pregnant. It's been 6 weeks, and I still have not had a period yet. I just really don't understand my body. We still want to have our own children, but I'm not stressing myself out about it anymore... I rather focus my energy on this foster class and help kids that are already in this world and need help. I just feel like me and Justin have so much to offer. We may not have all the money in the world, but money doesn't buy happiness. Some kids just need love and to feel safe, and we definitely have that.
I am very excited about this new journey in our lives. I hope we are making the right decisions :)
