Write a book.  That is what I keep being told.  I need to write a book.  This last couple who said this I told them our life is truly boring!  Who would want to read it?

Last week I got a phone call.  Actually my oldest dd got the call and called us.  She was all excited and told us we needed to make this phone call back.  Hmmmm should of known something was up since she was excited and this person I rarely talk to.

I called this lady back.  She said that God told her to call me about this.  She was wondering if Hope Life Center would have anything for foster care.  She then went on to say that there is a 3 month old little boy who needs a home for just 2 yrs.  His mom is going to prison and where he is at they don't want him.  They are threatening foster care if she doesn't find him a home.  That was all the detail she had.  My heart wanted to say take him!  My brain said to her that I would check into it as I don't think Hope has that type of services available.  I also said I would help find him a home as I, myself, didn't want to see him end up in foster care.  A little guy like that needs a permanent home for 2 yrs and not the chance of being bounced from home to home.  Those first 3 yrs are so crucial in a child's life.  Those first 3 yrs he needs stability.  Even though he is going back to his mom in 2 yrs the transition should be a lot easier than going from home to home to home and then back to mom.

I got off the phone and told dh.  My mom was also there and we discussed the little guy's problems.
