In the beginning...

.....there was just little 'ole me. However, I have to forewarn you, I have adopted many of my friends and families kids as my own. They are affectionately known as my "kiddos." So, I am sure that there will be many pictures to come of all of them.

For right now my little Abby is my only baby. However, she doesn't live with me. It would've killed my mom if I had taken her when I moved a few years back.



Isn't she the cutest???? AWWWWW... she actually needed a visit to the doggie salon in this picture. I will have to find a better one later.

I am very close to becoming a licensed foster parent. Many, many people think that I am crazy or "nuts." This is not a decision that I have made lightly though. I have thought about it, obsessed over it, and prayed ALOT about it for almost two years before I started taking the classes. Now, I am finally almost ready to start. All you mommies out there get ready.....cause I am sure to need lots of advise!!

So, this is how my story starts. Check back in for the mad escapades of a single foster mommy.
