Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through aChrist which bstrengtheneth me.



Brent and Colin will be leaving our family at 2:00 today and going to live with an aunt. We will miss them and we will remember them for much longer than they will remember us.  We will pray for their transition and for God to bless their sweet hearts.
Our lives have been touched and changed. We feel blessed to have been on this journey even though our hearts are broken. We are thankful for the 8 days we spent together being their parents. We pray for their birth mom as well. She is strong and is trying to make a good choice for her boys.

Oh Gretchen...I am so sorry. This is so hard to deal with, we went through it several times when we did foster care. Thinking of you and your family and praying for you.

I think that their spirits will remember you for much longer than you think. The 8 days in your home was a taste of heaven for them and for you. I'm so sorry.

Love you guys,
The Rosiers.
