Kent and Mommy |
Each child enjoys individual time with mommy and daddy. Kent still lets his mom get real close. Isn't he a good looking boy?
Kent reading to Baden |
Now you can see them both |
Kent is also the big brother. Here he is reading to Baden from a very large book. So big in fact that you can't see Kent at all until we sneak to the side.
Kent and Bethany playing Twister |
Kent and Bethany at play - this time with Twister, that old reliable game of contortion.
It is commendable that MCFD sought to place Bethany with her other two siblings and that the foster parents agreed now to to have all four children housed together. The older three can become accustomed to little Josiah in the family formula.
Now we are trusting that soon these children may be allowed to live with their birth parents in the family home in which so much of their weekly visitation time is spent. They already know their rooms, beds and belonging in this home.

Cute stuff!
ReplyDeleteI am overjoyed to see this and continue to thank Father for restoration... let's keep praying.... Hallelujah Jesus!
ReplyDeleteShe is a beautiful girl, I sure hope she is reunited with her Mom and Dad, soon.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see photo privileges have been restored!
ReplyDeleteI would hope the foster parents are building up the children's parents in their impressionable young minds.
ReplyDeleteIn the same way Santa and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are glorified by parents and and built up as major memories in children's minds, I hope that foster parents are trained in the aspects of reunification, and knowing their secondary and temporary position as caregivers.
It is my wish also that if children are made to become accustomed to a higher standard of living, that the government owes a duty of care and similar obligation imposed on alternate caregivers as per the Family Relations Act, who, after one year of care, must contribute to the cost of children's care when a change of circumstance occurs.
What benefit to the children is there when MCFD dresses up children nicely, makes parents into paupers, maligns them in the eyes of the children and then returns the children to their care?
