So, i'm not so sure if I've updated everyone on the series of events that have been happening at my parents house lately. If you haven't heard already...my parents have chosen to foster three children. My cousin's three older children. My cousin Angie hasn't been doing so well...ever really, and her children were taken away from her 3 weeks ago. The social worker called my aunt Maribel and my mom to see if they were interested fostering the children. Being so many (5) total, the fostering system was unable to find a placement for all of them, and they would have to be seperated to different homes. So my mom and my aunt filled out the papers and decided to foster the children so they could be together and see each other regularly. Last Friday was the first day they arrived. My mom is fostering Matthew (age 11) Annette (6) and Reynna (4). My aunt is fostering Sierra (3) and Alicia (2). Travis and I travelled home last weekend to meet the children and spend Easter with the family. The children are staying with mom indefinately for right now. The court gives Angie 1 year to get herself together, and provide a home for her children. After that 1 year passes, my parents are given the option to continue being foster parents or adopting the children.
These children need a lot of love, teaching, and just a good ol' loving home. In three days, my parents and I could already see the difference in the way they behaved with each other and us as well. They need so much love and affection. This was a big choice my parents took, and I'm so proud and thankful i have good parents that can give much love to these children. By the way, my bro is stepping up and helping my parents out too, he's assumed the role of big bro...it's cool to see:)
p.s. this is my first video...i hope it works:)
