NOTE: This post was written when we decided to become foster parents and I wanted to start a blog (way back when). I thought it was so important to share these (raw, honest) thoughts with you all.

Deep breaths.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

I’ve tried this blogging thing before. It has always been therapeutic but has never been very permanent. I always find an excuse not to finish a post and then it is all downhill from there.

This time, I am invested for a much bigger reason. Bigger than sharing with our friends and family, bigger than being “trendy” and bigger than cheap therapy.

We have decided to become foster parents.

Every time I say it out loud it feels more and more real.

That is why this blog is going to exist. It is bigger than me. It is to tell the story of redemption, of heartache, of joy, of healing, of hope.

We are incredibly excited to be on this journey and we hope that someone who is considering this path may stumble upon this little corner of the blog-o-sphere and find comfort. (I know I did when I happened across a couple of other amazing foster blogs and vlogs!)

We aren’t sure what this will become, but we know we need to tell our story.

Thank you for joining us on this great adventure!

Love,

The Lowells
