Update on Hunter and Amber

I just found the above photo..I forgot about it. I had to let the back seat down to fit all their stuff in our van. When they came to our house, they had nothing but the clothes they had on. Everyone was so generous when we have them, I really bought very little for them, and they took so much stuff with them.

I forgot to blog about it b/c this all happened about 2 weeks before we moved and I was so busy. After court in February, the judge decided to let Amber and Hunter go live with their grandparents. I was surprised to hear that their grandparents lived in Maumelle all that time...I never knew! She kept them at the same daycare. I know the people that worked there thought we were all nuts! Same kids, same daycare, 3 sets of parents. I haven't heard lately how they are doing. We met their foster parents at the park the day before court, so the kids got to play, and we all got to say goodbye. That was much sadder to me than them going to live with their new foster parents. I knew this was final and I would never see them again. I pray for them often. I hope they are doing well. Jenny talked to the grandparents about a week after they went, and there were some adjustment things going on with the kids and their parents, as to be expected. I anticipate that it will probably be the hardest adjustment they have had so far. In one way, I would like to hear how they are doing, but in another, I think it is best that I just don't know. I can't do anything about them but worry. I do miss them a lot. As you know, I took a ton of pictures of them, and have a lot of video too, and I am so happy I have those photos, but it also makes me sad to look at them. That was such a hard time for me, but I loved them so much, and I gave all I had to give for them. I am happy and content with the family I have now, but I do still feel an emptyness with them gone. When I am out, I feel like I missing someone I should be keeping an eye on. (and she was one I had to keep a Really close eye on!) I really do miss their beautiful blond hair/blue eye cuteness!
