Tomorrow my sister sends two of her foster children back to their biological mother. This is a very emotional and difficult time for her. She has had both since their births. The oldest is three and a half and the youngest is not quite two.
The children have become a very big part of her life and that of my mother who babysits often for them. They are truly adorable and happy kids. For my sister she has been given a very special gift. First, she has been given the ability to love and nurture children and be a true advocate for them in their care and future. She has also been allowed to use this gift often over the years with many children.
As these two children return to their biological mother we as a family are happy God brought them into our lives if even for a short period of time. We can find comfort in knowing that their lives will be better for having a positive start in their lives. They have been surrounded with people who truly have loved them and cared for them. We trust God will look over them and he will continue to allow my sister to be the loving, nurturing start for other children who are placed with her.
