D is thriving in his foster home with his younger brother. He started first grade. We will will go to his first soccer game next Saturday and his 7th Birthday Party. We will be with D's foster family and his biological family. Three families from different cities, different backgrounds and different faiths have come together with the shared spirit of taking care of these children. It is remarkable really.
The circumstances under which D left us have made the transition easier. We know he is safe and loved. I am able to communicate with his foster parents and we are able to see him. This is not always how foster care plays out.
I have been taking lots of baby stuff to D's Mother due to the incredible generosity of my Mom Friends. Her baby boy should be born very soon. I am developing a relationship with her. This is definitely new territory for me.
D's story and that of his mother can go lots of different directions. It is entirely possible that a traumatic event has been the catalyst for a better life for them. I hope so.
Our Next Placement
We open back up for a foster child on Monday.
