I’m rocking him to sleep as I type this post with one hand. I don’t want to put him in his bed just yet. You see, The Baby leaves in just three more days. It feels so weird. It feels so final. I’m happy for his new foster mom. She is eventually going to have the entire sibling group of four boys with her. This is a good thing! I’m just going to miss him. When you raise a baby from 2 days to 6 months, you get attached, very attached. And, I love him. But, loving and letting go is part of foster care. Sometimes, I wonder if we will ever do this again. Thankfully, I don’t have to decide that right now. I just have to rock him to sleep.

So hard. It’s all just so hard, even the “happy endings” are bittersweet. Praying, praying. Rock that baby, friend. Soak him up. ❤
Thank you! I am! Every little precious moment!
Sorry for the loss of the baby. I hope you can maintain contact!
That is one good thing! His new foster mom and I talk every day since we’ve had siblings and became friends. I’ll get to see him again!
I’m so glad you’ll get to stay in touch with Baby! Is this foster mom planning to adopt them or is it still a family reunification case?
We are getting the boys into a home where they can all four live together. Whether it be until reunification or until adoption by this foster mom. This feels like a foster care success story to me! No matter what happens with the adults, these kids will end up TOGETHER! So good!
Yes, for sure! Grateful for the foster family who can have them all. 🙂
Me too!!!
