Foster Family
September 1, 2014
Being a foster family is Awesome-Awful.
Two sides to every coin.
Awesome to give a safe place for boys,
Awful to share icecream and toys.
Awesome to teach litle ones to be friends,
Awful to smell all those diapers again.
Awesome fresh hugs after bath time,
Awful to hear all the sleepy whines.
Awesome to have extra brothers to play,
Awful when it's time they all go away.
Being a foster family is Awesome-Awful.

We have been fostering kids in our county for five years. It really is awesome and awful.
