Foster Parents!

As most of you know, Jared & I have been trying to adopt!

Our social worker told us to tell everyone we know - because so many adoptions are "word-of-mouth" adoptions. There is most likely someone that knows somebody that is wanting to to choose adoption & knows us - ( I'm sure that all makes sense) and badah-bing, badah-boom! We have a baby :)

So, as we are on this wonderful journey - I can't believe it's so hard to get your foot in the door anywhere!

We've been referred to a couple of lawyers (both of which has not returned any of our messages), got the run-around with DHS & so on & so on. But we aren't losing hope.
In the meantime, we got approved to be foster dog parents!

We welcomed Chloe into our home Friday afternoon & we just smile seeing her so happy :)
She is an 8yr old lab from the Fayetteville Animal Shelter - they are renovating part of the shelter & need foster parents for the dogs, because they can't stay at the shelter until the renovations are complete.

Welcome to the country, Chloe!

Chloe & Bear hit it off & played hard together....

 ...relaxed together.......

sniffed around together.....

(This happened quite a bit... bear would jump over her, sit on her, but mostly acted like she was one of us - as you see here with his tail in her face.)




By the end of the day we were all exhausted -


This has been such a good experience for us & I urge you to go to the animal shelter's website
and see what animals are available to foster/adopt.
Everyone deserves a good home with lots of love, even if it's just for a short time.

Even though we love our furry babies, please remember us during our adoption process - we can't wait to become parents & need all the support  we can get. Love you all!
