clarity...

My last post was late at night...so things might have been a little confusing.

Since the kids are already living with me, I was offered the option to adopt them first (if the band makes no claim to them). I thought that the kids should be placed as a sibling set (of three) since they are full siblings. The social works have since agreed.

I could adopt all three. Which would make me a single parent of 4 kids 5 and under. That is A LOT! I would also be done foster parenting as my house would be full and I would be stretched to my limit. I could physically and financially care for all of them. It would be tough.

I am not sure I am called to. I feel that God has put it on my heart to foster and as much as I am growing to love these kids, I have to take CO into consideration. He is a BIG work in progress.  When I told him about the kids, he asked if the social workers could just find and new mom and dad for T and we keep the girl L (maybe also refered to as A).

I have the 30 days to decide.

I would have to buy a new vehicle and massively expand my support network.
Maybe I am just being selfish in thinking no.
