Do any of you ever see Today's THV segment featured every Thursday called "A Place to Call home"? Many of the children waiting for adoption that have been featured on there are ones that I have photographed. I cry just about everytime I watch these videos...especially for the kids I have met. Yesterday though, I was a blubbering mess. Today's feature was of children in a medical facility. Yesterday's, featured our foster son Talan. He isn't with us anymore, but we still consider him our family. I just can't stop crying. We love him so much. I hope he can find a forever family. I wish it could be us. I think that is why the video has hit me so hard. I wish we could be his forever family, but we just can't. We do go visit him, the kids ask frequently, and when I have someone to watch the babies, and we are all well, we go see him, and cuddle and love on him. He is so sweet, and loveable, and we all miss him.
Please lift this little guy up in prayer that he finds someone that loves him as much as, or more than we do, and wants to adopt him.
I wish I could just post the video on here, but I don't know how. If anyone knows how to do that, please share your knowledge with me!
I've never seen that! What time does it come on?
ReplyDeleteMaury, I can't imagine how it must have hit you right in the heart to see him on there. (not to metion the other children as well.) Huge hugs to you, sweetie. I will definitely lift that sweet boy up in my prayers!
I know it isn't the same thing really, but truly, now that we're getting closer and closer to "A" my heart is starting to hurt that she can't be here. We can't foster her... and she may even be adopted and moved A LOOOONG way away and we'll never see her again. Makes my chest hurt to think of it... but I just try to be thankful, in advance, of whatever God is working out for her. He knows so much better than I do, and who knows, maybe he'll surprise us in the end.
When you see those children on TV, please feel ENCOURAGED that because of your courage to publically talk about fostering and adoption, you've inspired at least one other family to do the same. Probably more, but I can only speak for us. :)
Girl, girl... I so know!!!! I saw our foster son's picture on AR's website for kids waiting to be adopted and I exploded in tears and sobbing and was a wreck for days. Still am if I allow myself to dwell on it for long. God has a lot of explaining to do when I get there. So many things I don't understand...

ReplyDeleteI watched the video via the link. I can imagine how it must have upset you seeing him there. I will pray that he gets a forever family who love him like you did. Sending a hug your way today.

Maury Im so very sorry. I am lifting you all up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteI watched the video, and it's the first time I've gotten to see Talan besides in your photographs...he is precious. The facility looks nice, and even though he's not with a family at the moment, just take comfort that he's in a place where he can get the medical help that he needs, and that he is being well taken care of. I love you so much and I am here for you if you need an ear.
