Now an update on the kiddos:
Jonathan, our oldest foster kiddo left on December 2nd to a relative adoptive placement. It was a bittersweet thing, he was excited to go but I am not 100% convinced it was the best thing for him. Only time will tell. We have asked for updates with no response so, no I don't know how he is doing.
Then we were left with just Michael and Biscuit...the house was so quiet for 2 very long weeks!
On December 15th, we were blessed with two more precious boys! Isaac 3 months old and Fabian 2 years old. They made such an impact in my life. Isaac's little arm was broken and Fabian could not speak one word. I freshened up on my Spanish and Sign Language, thinking maybe he just couldn't understand me, but nope, he just looked at me like I was so silly! Isaac and Fabo's stay was very short, they went to their grandparents just 6 short days after arriving at our house! The reunification was so sweet, Fabo was so excited to see them and they were extremely thankful to us for protecting and loving them. These two were really hard to let go, I still cry when I think about them. Jeremy's grandma got Isaac a 'First Christmas Bear' and when I opened it I cried like a baby!
Isaac is a beautiful baby boy that could laugh until he had tears!
Fabo- he is a little sweetheart and his precious little smile got me every time!My sister got me the most beautiful frame with all my kiddos in it with the words "Every Child Deserves...a Mother's Love"(picture is at the bottom of the post)--anyways I cried like a baby over this too!
Less than 24 hours after we returned the boys to their grandparents, our CM called with 3 more kiddos. We weren't sure if CPS and/or licensing would approve us but we said YES! Yes to THREE more kids, yikes! With our planned trip out of state we could not get court approval to take them with us so everyone agreed that waiting until we got back would be a better option, that being said-Serenity 2, Braylynn 18 mo, and Brett 4 mo, will be arriving at the Kirk house on January 5th! They all live in separate foster homes right now and they will all be together again. We still have Michael and Biscuit, so yes that makes 5 kids in the Kirk household and we couldn't be more excited, anxious, nervous and scared! We are in Colorado right now and are so anxious to get home to prepare the house and get all the beds, cribs, diapers (5 kids in diapers), clothes and girl stuff gathered up and then we sit and wait for them to come home!
We go to court on January 24th and hopefully the judge will give us the go ahead to proceed with the adoption of Michael and Biscuit! Say a prayer for them please!
Here's some pictures from when Santa came! The boys must have been really good!
