From the Archives #1: Hard days and big questions
Heather and I have been writing blog posts about our lives and our foster care journey for a few years now. As we migrate them over to this format, these “From the Archives” posts give us a chance to highlight and reflect.
This first set of FTA posts features some of our rawest posts. We discuss foster care with our oldest biological child, consider the little joys in the midst of the pain, and try to (inadequately) answer some hard questions that we often come across.
This set also features the first post I wrote on the day our son returned to his first mother.

We interview our oldest son at age 6 about his experiences as a big brother through biology and foster care!
So often we don't get to see what was at work on the most discouraging of days. We don't get to see how God will use our sacrifices for our good and the good of those around us. Don’t miss the little glimpses.
It’s a harmless question, but we are never sure how to answer...
What number child is this for you?
I feel like saying “two” doesn’t accurately describe our family and it definitely short-changes the impact those babies had on our family.
Over a year and a half in our home comes to an end.
There is a young boy without his younger brother to follow him around. There is a dad without his youngest wrestling partner. There is a mother without her baby.
