1) If you sit up late to watch specials about things like meth labs and pediatric psychology on PBS or the Learning Channel...you might be a foster parent.
2)If your friends and family collect coins or baseball cards or wine and you only want to collect kids...you might be a foster parent.
3)If you hear about a child being abused and it makes you want to jam a two-by-four up the abuser's nose on the one hand but thank them on the other hand for providing you an opportunity to love their child...you might be a foster parent.
4)If your income would allow you to drive a big, new truck or a Corvette if you wanted and you voluntarily make due with a 10 year old beater so you can keep the house fixed up to code and add another bedroom with an egress window in the basement to increase your capacity...you might be a foster parent.
Thought you would get a laugh at some of these. Adoption through foster care is a an awesome opportunity God has given us to grow our family. I am reading a book right now "Adopting the hurt child" and I am learning so much on how to comfort a child that has gone through so much. I am grateful that God has chosen Kevin and I for this adventure!
