Our New Addition

We got a call last night - as these stories generally start - about a little one who needed a new home. All we knew is that she just turned two and was leaving her home because her grandmother was allowing unsupervised visits with her parents - something she isn't supposed to be doing. We accepted the placement (of COURSE!) and here we are 24 hours later. We made it through the first day without a hitch! :)

Of course, we can't say anything about her name or post pictures, but I can assure you that she is just about the most adorable little girl I have ever met - and she has a pretty cute name too!

Here is the little bit we know about her situation: This is her second time in foster care. Her mother has had other children removed and is currently pregnant. We don't know why this little one was removed originally and we don't know anything about the circumstances of the other children. The case worker and investigator told us that we could expect to keep this one for "a while". We told them we were happy to do that and that was that. And that is about all we know. Including the fact that we don't know this little one's last name (the paperwork has to be copied and mailed to us so we don't have her full name or anything). What we have learned in the process with the boys is that we will know what we need to know and will just have to be ok with that. I know that God will make what is supposed to happen...well...happen and we are best to just follow that plan.

So that's about it. Given that we are just at 24 hours with our newest "addition" we don't have much else to report. But as usual, we will have lots of fun stories to share! :) We appreciate your prayers and support as we embark on yet another adventure in the Pringle house!
