Four to Six...days, weeks, or months

When we took Belle we said we would take her until the end of spring break which was four days away. Then we said we would keep her until her first court date which was six days from when we first took her. We were then told her case would go on until at least May which would be about six weeks. Today we were told it is looking more like four to six months. I kind of had to laugh at the numbers. What we agreed to do for four days has turned into a half year journey. Such is foster care. Belle is such a sweetie and we enjoy her. We are glad to keep her; although I think Davin and I are both questioning our sanity at this point. It is interesting that cases that seem easy sometimes become complex and complex cases sometimes become the easy ones. Pray for our sanity and our ability to parent three children at once.
