    Love this video! I've been a foster mom for 3 yrs. We have had 12 kids come through our home and have been reunified with family in NJ but I can't wait to be a Forever Mom. God Bless!

      Exciting that you have stuck with fostering for the past 3 years & have already helped so many kiddos already! The world needs more people like you!

    I just watched this video and my heart goes out to you💗 We recently had our first foster placement and he was also newborn baby boy, he was the perfect baby! While we knew he’d only be staying temporarily we immediately got attached. It’s so hard to see them leave even when you’re happy for them. Thankyou for all the content you put on CZcams, it’s been very inspiring!

      Congratulations on your first foster placement! That is so wonderful! In our experience, the first foster placement is the absolute HARDEST to let go! We almost didn't foster after our first newborn from the hospital left. :( So glad we did though....If not, we wouldn't have our four amazing daughters! Excited for your journey ahead! Thanks for watching & all the best to your family!

    So very bittersweet. God bless you for being so selfless. I loved seeing how happy your beautiful girls were to see that baby for the first time.

    I’m sorry you weren’t able to say good bye. I’m sure you’ve had plenty new babies since this video though and loved them all equally. Foster care: the name of the game is reunification. It sucks but it’s what we signed up for. 💜💜💜

    • @Jen-FosteringFamily
      @Jen-FosteringFamily  Před rokem +4

      Yes! That's so the truth! The goal is always reunification! And what a blessing when that can happen successfully!

      What about when the goal is not reunification, like, in cases of child abuse?
      Is the procedure and process different for a child who is not going back to a dangerous situation?

    • @spiralrose
      @spiralrose Před 11 měsíci

      Maybe I’m cynical, but please correct me if I’m wrong but I think reunification is encouraged because it’s cheaper for the state then to have more children to handle.

    Oh Jen I hadn't heard 😔 My heart hurts so much for you. I'm so sorry you didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Such a precious boy. I pray God's hand on him wherever he goes ❤

      Thank you for your prayers, friend! Yes, if even for a moment...It is worth it! It is always worth it! ;

    Go Seahawks!!! Are you guys in the Seattle area? I grew up in Spokane but have moved since. I'm now a foster parent in Iowa. Really enjoying your channel! Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. I'm so sorry he didn't get to stay with your family...so sad when they have to leave like that but he's lucky to have all the love your guys poured into him for that short while he was with you!

    • @Jen-FosteringFamily

    Is there a reason he didn't stay with you guys?

      A relative placement was identified. As is always the case in foster care, keeping families together is priority.
