A month ago we said good-bye to our two darling little foster girls who had been with us for over a year.
Now I am happy to announce the arrival of our newborn premature foster daughter who came into our home at the age of 10 days. Her birth weight was 5 lb. 7 oz.
I am not permitted to state her name but I will call her Rosebud here because it is close enough. She is perfectly adorable and we are loving her!
Congrats to you on little Rosebud. I commend you for your dedication and commitment in raising foster children. After bonding with the children, it must be difficult for you when they leave but I think all of your work gives them a healthy start in life. Good luck with your little Rosebud!
Thank you for your kind comments, [name]Mischa[/name]. I think that’s what keeps us going after the sadness of letting them go- believing that we made a difference, that we gave them a healthy start in life.
Well done on your new arrival. [name]Hope[/name] that she gives you joy in your life!
Great news and thank you for being one in a million who will love and care for babies like Rosebud.

Yes!, thats fanatstic!—And welcome little Rosebud! (I was a foster parent too, for 10 years, 35 children, 2 adopted:)
You are very special people! I totally love the name Rosebud! If it’s not her name it certainly should be. Maybe a nn? Many many happy years with your little Rosebud!
You are all so kind! Thank you.
ceecee-Wonderful that you’ve fostered 35 children and for 10 years. Bless your heart! We are on our third child and have been fostering for less than two years. Rosebud may be permanent foster but we don’t know that yet.
fcooper- Rosebud is not her real name; her real name is actually from the [name]Rose[/name] family of names though. I too think Rosebud is darling for her. We didn’t get to choose her name.
