Foster moms. I’m sitting here…pouring over page after page after page…of 2 years documented from my son’s nanny from the orphanage in China. This is not normal I know.

How wonderful. Such a precious gift to have.

It is a grace-filled, sacred place and we are grateful to be along for the ride of a lifetime with our Father!
No matter whether you put biological, birth, adoptive or foster in front…at our hearts…we are MOMS!
Lynn–I just had to share that I got to MEET his special nanny in PERSON while I was there! Such a treasure! We have been sending over pictures–and the staff there has shared what a delight it is to receive them! THANKFUL! Oh how LOVED our sweet one is!
What a beautiful post! How lucky your on was to have this amazing woman in his life!
As a foster mom, I love this :). I love that he was ready to love you because she loved him. It encourages me to keep on keepin’ on even when it is so hard.
