Tonight we had our monthly foster family training/ support group, and during that meeting we honored our high school graduates. It is really a big deal when the children strive for something and achieve what they have worked for.
The truth is, we like to celebrate, period. Whenever a child improves behavior and gets to move to a permanent family, (whether it be natural family, foster family, guardianship or adoption), we have a congratulations party. When one of our employees, or one of our older girls become pregnant, we welcome that baby with a shower.
We have the best parties ever, whether it is our kickball tournament, our 4th of July party, our Christmas party, we love to make memories. Foster care could be viewed as sad, difficult, and other negative thoughts. We choose to believe that whenever it is necessary we will step up, make the best of the time together, and make good memories.
