With all these emotions on high, I truly worry about the emotional differences in my partner and I! I have such strong ties and bonds with these children in such short time and she just doesn’t. She has no qualms about saying it either. She flat out said in a discussion if we never got pregnant or another kid, it wouldn’t phase her. I on the other hand couldn’t stay in a life without children or the possibility of experiencing more of motherhood with foster children and with the possibility of our own! My heart is completely breaking... I just feel like we’ve come so far to be smacked in the face. Did I push this to make it happen for myself... to make what I wanted to fit, fit?

The single greatest thing I have ever done was become a mother. The second greatest thing was learning how to heal my shit so I wouldn’t pass it down. And believe me I have tried to undo some things. I have done my best. I don’t always get it right. But one thing I have done right is know how to love these delicious humans. I know how to be a mama. I am so blessed to have been able to raise a brilliant woman and to play a role in helping to raise a little one again... and then there are the ones I have mothered and nurtured in the work that I do. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ME and to YOU! @yoseliescribe I love you. To my daughters @shhushyourlips and BABY E I love you. 🙏🏾💋💜 #lesbianmoms #fostermoms #fosterdaughter #babyegems #mothersday #mothersanddaughters #madresyhijas #madresdominicanas 🇩🇴💜💋🙏🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAByY9MjwRZ/?igshid=1hx0987lth8th

Foster care is so difficult when there is a grey situation. Your life feels black and white until the turnip cart is flipped by another foster mother who wants to take your child who’s fully adapted and attached to her life... yes siblings are important- but do they have to be together if both are thriving?

Foster care is beautiful, sad, hard, emotional, and really everything you expect except more! I wish we could foster forever, but I do understand it’s not Leah’s favorite thing and that she’s just doing it for me!

Repost from @fosterdadflipper - A child’s perspective is a gift in this world. There’s something about the mind of a young person that can stretch beyond the tunnel vision of busy adults. I’m blessed to have the opportunity to create a home and life with A whose imagination and wonder expand my own perspective. At times it feels like we’re raising each other!

Then tonight I get two sonogram pics sent to me of twins... and the mother isn’t sure she wants to keep them! She’s six weeks along... her mom told her she knew the perfect couple if she chose to put them up for adoption! My heart is soaring with the possibility of this adoption!
