“I don’t know what my path in foster care looks like a year from now, but I know my door will be open to a child in need.”
“When you’ve always been represented, you’ve always been able to see yourself in your dreams. It’s time for others to be able to see themselves, too.”
“But that doesn’t mean we stop fighting for it. Love is not a feeling but an action. A decision to put another person above ourselves.”
“Your kids love you. You’re doing the best you can and that is ENOUGH.”
“Never lose yourself and know you did the best thing you ever could have done the second you walked out the door. You are more powerful than you will ever know.”
“We beat ourselves up immensely for the smallest details our children aren’t even upset about, and yet it’s a never-ending cycle.”
“They don’t quite need me the way they used to. However, as I move from the driver to the passenger seat of their lives, I get the beautiful privilege of witnessing them growing into capable, independent, faithful men.”
“I cannot imagine how confusing it feels to be a tiny human trying to navigate such a situation.”
