My Sister and Brother in Law having a big heart to decide to be a foster parents. Being foster parents is not an easy job. Especially when those children are born chemically addicted. Lets go back to when this story really begins.
Back in 2006, my sister and her husband where blessed to receive my Niece when she was born she was addicted to drugs, because her birth mother was a drug addict, who was 19 years of age would get pregnant and sell the babies before they were born to get more drugs. She previously had, had 3 children before this. It was hard for my sister and her hubby dealing with Kate withdrawals, but they made it through. A few months later I got to meet my niece it was love at first sight. I was so glad she was apart of our family. Well when my sister and her hubby finally were able to sleep through the night (10 months later) the state called her again asking if she like to take Kate brother Harold. Of course they said yes. Well the process began again but this time Harold was a lot worst off he was on a heart monitor for a long time. Well they got through the rough patches with both children. Both beautiful and healthy, and our family has been praying for a long time so the kids were legally theirs.
Ever since my sister and her hubby had the children they have wanted to adopt them. It has been a long drawn out battle, the judge did not want to terminate the parent’s rights. A few months ago my sister received her third blessing Logan. As his brother and sister before him he was chemically addicted as well. All three of these children have been part of this family from day one. My son loves his cousins. I have wanted this kids legally part of our family since the day they came home. I know their Mother and Father them very much. I love these kids as well.
Well a few months ago the doctor told my sister she would not be able to have children of her own. I was devastated for her but she was ok with it, she told me “I have three beautiful children I don’t need anymore.” Every since this event I have wanted the children to be her more than anything I was literally upset about it. (Those who are close to me know this has bothered for some time.) I would try to be strong when I talk to my sister about it. Trying to be a good sister as she has been for me. I literally would get so upset at the judicial system for not letting my sister have these kids.
I got a call this morning from my sister saying she had good news about the kids, but I was working so she sent me this email.
I wanted to let everyone know that today December 11, they terminated the parental rights on katie, Harold and Logan. What a relief. The hard part is over. We will be meeting with our social worker on December 30 to being discussing the final leg of this very long road. Thanks to all who prayed and supported us over the last 3 years. God's timing was perfect, even when my faith was low, God knew what he was doing, he was waiting for Logan to come. How blessed we have been with the children, but how blessed this Christmas will be to know the worrying is now over, they will be legally ours soon. They have been ours for some time, in our hearts and our family. Thanks again for all those who prayed for us. However, please be in prayer for those children who continue to need homes. Last night at 1:30am we got a call for a 6 month old boy who had suffered shakin baby snydrome, and he is blind. We were not able to take him due to being at capacity. We will continue to be foster parents after we adopt. But again thanks Kimberly, Jeffrey, Katie, Harold, Logan
I literally started crying as soon as I read this. Tears of extreme joy for them I am so glad these kids will be legally theirs in a few months. I am so happy excited and many other words that I can’t describe for them. I now know my kids and their cousins will never be separated. Hopefully when the adoption goes through there will a BIG party.
GOD is good.
My sister does deserve this she has been an awesome sister to me when I have been crappy with her.
