So early last week we had a re-licensing with our caseworker. She asked us how we were doing with a newborn and if we are open to having placements still. We told her that until we get better adjusted to a new baby, we would probably not take any placements. The one exception we would consider would be Lindsay since we took care of her over the summer. Not 5 minutes after she left, we received a call that Lindsay needed emergency placement and would we be willing to take her. Ken and I talked about it briefly and decided to take the plunge and see how it went. It has been almost a week now and we have been getting a taste of what it would be like to have twins. It is busy!!!! And tiring!!!! And as a mother, there is a constant battle against guilt of not giving every child what they need. There is always more that can be done, but not enough time or energy. But God is faithful like He always is and we are trusting that He will guide our steps and make clear the right decisions.
Thankful for His sustaining grace,
B

Becky,
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you.
I know EXACTLY how you feel. This is how it was with our family.
I was 6 month pregnant with Israel when Michael was placed in our home.
They are 4 months apart.........from everyone I know with twins, its just like twins.
It's tiring, but perservere, sister. Do not grow weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap what you have sown.
Blessings,
Becki
