Our Story: A Journey of Foster Care and Adoption

Our Story: A Journey of Foster Care and Adoption In 2004, our lives changed forever. My husband and I had started doing foster care while working on opening our adoption file. At the time, it was just the three of us—my husband, our daughter (who was in junior high), and me. My husband worked out of town during the week for the state, and I worked at the hospital. One night, my daughter and I received a phone call from the state. They were desperate to find a home for three young brothers. We had initially planned to take in only one foster child, but this was the last option before the boys would be split into separate homes. My heart couldn’t bear to see that happen. After a quick call to my husband, he agreed, and I told the state we would take the boys for the week and see how things went. I will never forget the night they arrived. Three little boys, all under the age of five, climbed out of a car. Each had only a small toy car—nothing else. They were dirty from head to toe. The o...

I have IIH some say its a fat issue maybe so maybe not I know many from a wonderful support group that are bean poles that battle this . I am unlucky or maybe I am special. I am not for sure yet, but this has caused damage to my eyesight ,it has flatten my pituitary gland that produces hormones its the central station it in your head it controls everything.

From the Office of Senator Ralph Ostmeyer _Kansas

Found this interesting if you are all following on what's going on with in the state. From the Office of Senator Ralph Ostmeyer January 25, 2016 Information to Note: CARR BROTHERS DEATH SENTENCES UPHELD The Supreme Court of the United States ruled 8-1 that the Kansas Supreme Court Justices unjustly overturned the death sentences of the nefarious Carr brothers. Reginald and Johnathan Carr committed atrocious crimes of rape, robbery, kidnaping, and murder in Wichita, in the winter of 2000. In 2002, the two were tried jointly and both were sentenced to death. However, in 2014 the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that the cases should have been separated, therefore the verdicts were deemed invalid. Additionally the lower court ruled that the jury was uninformed of the mitigating factors, which included the details of the abusive and traumatic childhood that the brothers experienced. Nonetheless, the United States Supreme Court struck down the 2014 decision to overturn their sentence...

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me

I have been struggling some with many things happening in my life,certain aspects of my life, it can be  very over whelming but its part of my life right now. A cry to him  asking what can I do to improve my physically, emotionally and spiritually well being ? I have spent this last week feeling challenged with the daily events in my life. I ask what change can I make to heighten my life for the better,  this  quality of life I am living is not the path I want to stay on. My compass is broken and I need to be healed. Down on my hands and knees I plea with my God what is it that you want me to do to better this life I am living, my walls are coming down around me and I have no control over the quake I am going through. I don't understand. My  physical health does not seem to be improving my episodes are increasing, I feel this beautiful life you have given me is out of control, emotionally and spiritually I am worn. I need the breath of life back into my soul. ...

There comes a time in life that everything will come to full circle. You know all those things we never want to deal with in life that we shove as far away as possible out of sight out of mind. When all we are doing is letting it collect debris, dust and it keeps getting further and further buried. We keep blaming everything that goes wrong in our life on something because we have never been able to deal with the matter at hand and running from life in general we because we don't know how to cope. It’s a lot easier to keep running. During our journey of running away we keep hurting those that are the closest to us. We say things that we don't realize we say. We are so lost in the mix of it all and in so deep. There is a point we feel that everyone in the world is out to hurt you and to get you.   How does such a person get out of this dark deep thorny hole that they have fallen into?    The answer to this you must see that you are there first!!
