Dirty Little Secret

I want to keep these girls...even if it means that they don't get to be back with their parents. Being a foster parent is so weird and offers such unique life experiences.  No other parents willingly give up their children so frequently and with such grace (usually) as foster parents.  The kids come into one's life and they just become "yours" so quickly.  Your heart leaps out of your chest and starts walking around in them before you know it!   So there it is - the secret that Cody and I usually only talk about when we are alone - we want these girls and sometimes we wish we could keep them, even if it means a loss for their parents.  We know it might not work out that way - it may not even be "meant to be" but man oh man - we sure do love them.
