I have had a very difficult time sleeping because Jim [my husband] and I have some huge decisions that we have been considering.
One thing that has been on my mind is the foster care application we've been working on. Something very interesting happened with it on Thursday. I was supposed to drop off the application a few days earlier, but it hadn't worked out. So, I stopped by the office to drop off my application. As I talked to the social worker, [who I'll call Rebecca], she told me that just a couple of hours earlier she got the information on a little boy that needs a home.
She told me quite a bit about the boy. His name is [Preston]. He is four or five years old. He is white with brown hair. He sounds darling.
Rebecca did warn me, though, that he is a handful. The doctor said that she thinks Preston is ADHD and is somewhat mentally delayed. The Doctor did say, though, that she believes Preston can easily catch up with the other children.
He has been living with a foster family that is Hispanic. They speak Spanish in the home. He also has three other boys int he home so there is quite a bit of fighting and aggresiveness. So, most of the concerns that Rebecca had, she attributed mainly to the environment of the home.
As a family, we have started to pray about Preston. I feel that of all of our decision in our life right now, this is the biggest. I feel so burdened with this decision on my shoulders.
