You are so right: there is a ton to learn when becoming a parent, and there’s a ton you learn as you go! You will be wonderful at it! You bring a lot of wisdom based on your experience, even if is teaching you what you *don’t* want to do. I’m so grateful that this post is encouraging to you. You encourage me to write and say so. And keep me posted on these home/parenting/future developments. I’m excited for you! Being a parent continues to be one of the greatest gifts of my life. Love you!

I so hope to foster a space where everyone feels valued, seen for who they are, respected and loved. As my partner and me start to look at buying a house and are beginning some prayer and reflection on starting the process to potentially foster in a few years, I have realized that while I know some obvious things, there are a lot of things about kids I don’t have a reasonable perspective on. The age I was thinking kids could go off alone, bathe themselves, etc. is apparently way off. I want give my children everything I craved so deep in my bones my whole childhood plus a whole scoop of stuff I didn’t even know people did! Reading these makes me feel like perhaps I won’t ruin my kids- or at least I’m doing my homework to be the best I can. Thank you thank you for sharing your experience strength and hope <3
