That morning,I dropped our eldest at kindergarten and returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical report.It was wonderful,but it hit me that my career in hospital wasn’t making a difference in anyone’s life.I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow.My career enabled me to work from home.I could work from home,and become a foster(领养) mother,providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.
On Monday morning,I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had searched for the nearest Department of Children’s Services.The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explained the next step of training,involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents.We continued through all the classes,the home visits,background checks,and seemingly endless steps.
Five long months after we were approved,the phone rang.In the middle of the night,I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room,sick and lack of nutrition.It didn’t take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering.Six months later,her half-brother came to us by our request.We now had five children under our care.
On August 12,2016,our family of seven walked into a small courtroom.The children’s lawyer and social worker were there.With just a few words,our adoption was finalized.These two amazing children weren’t going home,because they were already home.We are their forever family,and they are our forever children.We may not be able to change the entire world,but we have changed the world entirely for our new children.
