Focus On The Good

Why did we choose Focus on the good?  Because life gets hard!  We are always trying to think positive, and focus on the good. It is not always the easiest choice, but choosing the good can help you overcome anything.

This has been especially true for us while caring for children that are in foster care.

So much can happen that is completely out of your control.  Are the kids staying in care, are they going home to their parents? Are visits increasing or decreasing?  Are the visits supervised or unsupervised? Do the kids have trauma they need to work through?  How can you help the child work through their trauma?  

So many questions and rarely any answers. 

It is a tough road to be on, and it would be so easy to think of all of the bad in this situation. We have personally been on a roller coaster of emotions the last 2 years. Every month would be different news. Trying to stay focused on the good, kept us in a good headspace for the kids. Focusing on right now, in this moment, we were able to focus on providing the best care possible for the kids.  This is all we have control over.  

We are now out of that cycle of change, and headed towards adoption. We continue to focus on the good, and all the good we can do to help charities that aid foster care causes. We received so much help from friends, family, and the large foster community in our area, and we cannot wait to give back.   

So with that, we hope you choose to focus on the good in your life. 

You never know where it can take you.
