A few years back i did foster care for kids not animals,lol. My first placement was a little girl that was almost two, she stayed with us still t he summertime, then was moved to her pre adoptive home where she was adopted a few years later. Fast forward till yesterday i get a phone call out of the blue from one of the adoptive fathers and he has a facebook, where i got to see pictures of her!!!!!!!!! She is 7 now!!!!!!! so grown up and beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was great to be able to see her and hear about how things have been going for her, they thanked me for the book i did for her and the letter that i sent along with her when they took her. It was gr eat to hear from them and it just made my day. I have been thinking about doing foster care again, i want to eventually adopt !!!!!! We have things here that i want to get done to the house , and i want to wait till the kids are mostly all in school too, but i have been itching so bad to start again !!!! I just wanted to share about my wonderful phone call !!!!!!!!!

Ha ha Donna , yes that is what that was about,lol. I think about what it would have been like had we adopted her, and how big she would have been,lol

That is awesome Fran!!!! Is there any chance you could get to see her again in person? I think that would be very special.

Patty i have thought about it and would love to see her in person again,lol, but i dont know how they would feel about something like that. I might just drop a hint by telling them if they are ever in my area that i would love to see her, and then leave the ball in their court.

I wouldn't be afraid to broach the subject. I'm sure you could all have a wonderful reunion. I think the fact that they contacted you first is very positive!
