Today I had a little Disney Princess move in to my home and my heart. She is beautiful and precious in every way, and her favorite Princess is Snow White.... So that is what I will call her.
Snow White came to us from another foster family (as explained in the last post). They brought her over, looked around the house, and forced themselves to leave. My heart just broke for them, because it is so obvious that they love her.... and she loves them back.
It is funny how God works; a dozen little things came together that let us know that we had said "yes" to exactly the right child.She is very talkative and matter-of-fact. As soon as they left she started talking and hasn't stopped. Her favorite phrase is "Can I Tell you something?" and then she proceeds to tell us one random thing after another.
Her foster parents (Ashley and Duncan)are amazing people! It was so great to meet them and talk with them, even though they were struggling with the whole thing.
After putting Snow White to bed, I called Ashley and told her what a great night that we had had and how much we loved her already. Then Ashley proceeded to make me bawl like a baby by telling me that Hubby and I were the answer to many many prayers, and that it is obvious to them now that our home is where Snow White is meant to be.
I will write more tomorrow, but right now things are going well.... and we even got a couple of "I Love Yous" at random times tonight :).
Hubby summed it up well as we were getting ready for bed
"For the first time in a long time... I am content."
