Props to my agency

We foster through a private agency, and our experience has been overall quite positive.  It's especially the little gestures they do that make me feel that they recognize we are humans and parents going through this difficult experience, not just adults in a house with open beds, or glorified babysitters.  They've started to send us a card of appreciation after we take a new placement, just acknowledging how we open up our home to children.  Then today I received a card, just thanking us for the love we showed to Caterpillar and all these babies.  My love language is words, words, words, and it means so much to receive these little notes of encouragement.
