This is a funny and teary account of fostering and adopting children. Below is an excerpt from my book.

Foreword:

I REMEMBER:

I remember a time seems so far away

A place that was cold and bleak

A place where there was fighting and noise

And I wasn't allowed to speak

I remember a lady I think was my mom

She seemed to come and go

I remember not being able to wake her up

To tell her I was hungry and cold

I remember a lady who came in the night

I was frightened but she seemed so nice

My mom had forgotten that I was alone

The lady said that wasn't right

I remember we went in a car that had lights

But I don't remember much more

Till the car pulled up at a beautiful house

And a new lady opened the door

I remember being scared and afraid

But the new lady said it's OK

She bathed me and dressed me and put me to bed

And that's where I am today

The nightmares have faded the memories grown dim

And my new mom helps me to heal from them

She said there was a man that I should know

His name is Jesus and He'd make me whole

So now I say my prayers at night

And I thank my Jesus for making it right

I thank Him for the lady who's just like you

Who helped me begin a life that's new

She's helping me to forget that place

And every day the memories fade

And I thank Jesus for giving me more

Thank I could have ever, ever hoped for

The day my new "Mom" opened the door.

This is a little peak into the nights when we were awaked with a call to take a small child or infant that had been removed from an abusive or neglectful situation.
