today we went to New Day and Phillip Hayden...both great foster homes for children...there were many mixed feeling about this visit...the facilities are a blessing to these children...they are getting wonderful care and they are loved...it is amazing to me the sacrifice of those working at these places...giving up everything here to come and take care of these orphaned children...the couple that is the "mom and dad" at Phillip Hayden were such a gracious couple...probably in their 50's...they have been there for 2 years...they lost their only two sons in a boating accident...not sure exactly how they arrived at Phillip Hayden but was touched by their hearts to find a place to father and mother 80 children after tragically losing their two...although these children are in a wonderful places their is still an obvious void of "family"...some of the children we saw i wonder if they will ever be adopted...if not, then what?...just leaves a heart heavy...we will meet with CCAA tomorrow and talk with them about what we can do as an agency to help more children...all for now....amy
