Title: The Trials of Fosterparenting
Tags:
Blog Entry: My husband and I took a homeless teenager into our home a few months ago. This is a child we have known for many years and a friend of our 17 year old son. We have had a heart for this kid for sometime. His parents kicked him out and when we found out that he was homeless, we took him in so that he will be able to graduate here. He doesn't come without some issues and we are aware of that, but I do believe that we have the skill, but more importantly, God's grace to enable us to help this boy. This morning the school called and he has been causing trouble at the school and is in danger of not graduating in the spring. If this does not stop they will be seeking alternative placement for him. My heart aches for this kid and we have come to love him as one of our own, but I know that tough love is what is needed here. I pray that God gives us the wisdom needed to help this child succeed.
