Our Foster Children

For those of you who may wonder who all these extra kids are in all our pictures of our family, let me explain. In the summer of 2007 we started doing foster care, Hayden was the first little guy we got, he was the perfect fit for our family. It seemed like he had always been part of our lives. We had him with us for 6 months until we moved to Washington, what a dear, special place he holds in our hearts. Even now as we go through the licensing process here in Washington to become foster parents, the pictures we have of Hayden around our home will always remind us why we are opening our hearts to love these little ones. Zach showed Hayden's picture to the neighbor boy and explained to him that "Hayden is my foster brother, he is my brother in my heart" Now even though Hayden was such an awesome experience for our family, we did have a few challenge children in our home too. The good we do for these children has totally outweighed the challenging experiences. So you will see lots of extra children in our pictures, know they are part of our family in a very special way!
