Back in the Fall, after huge amounts of begging, pleading and pestering from our two daughters we agreed to foster kittens through our local Humane Socie*y. We went through 3 litters of kittens before Molly came across my computer and my adoption gene was kicked into high gear. Paperwork took precedence and fostering became a thing of the past...until TODAY! We are now the proud foster family to this fluffy 8 oz ball of fur named Carol. Her tail looks like a Christmas Tree, garland and all. Well, at least we think it does. :) 
She has captured our hearts and Jack's heart as well. Just look at the love between kitten and 85 pounds of dog!
Somehow I do not think that tongue will be able to reciprocate the love she felt from Jack. But, she shows love in other ways...like sharing her food and pouncing on his tail. I am beginning to think there is a link to fostering animals and the adoption of children in my life. The last time we fostered was 7 years ago.
I thought adopting a dog would squelch my adoption desire so we fostered Jack as a puppy and then adopted him. It didn't work, the desire remained.
10 months after his adoption we started the paperwork for Lilian.
The process repeated itself this fall with kittens, 4 months after fostering we started the process for Molly.
God sure does have a way of accomplishing His plan for our lives!

Hi Maureen, I found your blog through Jennifer's Sunday Snapshot and just had to read it! I remember when I first found out about your Molly Grace! She just tugged at my heart and I began to advocate for her. I was thrilled when I found out that she had a family and I am thrilled to have found you! I had to laugh because I have fostered dogs for so long and just a few weeks ago we found a stray kitten that we fostered until just 2 days ago when he went home to his new family! I know that the Lord has used my love of animals to grow my heart for all living things who need a voice and especially the children of China. Right now we have 5 kids, 3 dogs, 1 old Golden, forever foster dog, one foster puppy, one cat and just rehomed our foster kitten! Whew! I hope you don't mind if I follow along on your journey to Molly Grace!
