Ten Months!

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
​

I've been blogging for ten months now! Wow, it's amazing how much has changed since my first post!
For my ten month anniversary post, I thought I would talk about the feelings that you experience when you're waiting to find out if a child will be put up for adoption.


When you have a child living with you for any amount of time, it's only natural to wonder what life would be like if you were able to adopt that child. You wonder what would happen if you didn't have to say good bye to this child for whom you've opened up your home and your heart. The longer the child is with you, the more you wonder what will happen.


When you approach a year with a foster child in your care, that's when you know that adoption is a real possibility. After a year, there will either be a few months extension granted for the bio parents to finish their court mandated requirements, or the bio parents will have their rights terminated. You don't know which way things will go, and as much as you know that you should want the child to be reunited with the bio parents, sometimes you just wish that you could keep that child in your arms forever.


No words can soothe the pain of finding out that there won't be an adoption. Nothing I could write here can prepare new foster parents for the joy or sorrow of finding out what the end of a placement holds. But I can say that the good byes and the tears, the adoptions and the hugs, all that comes with doing foster care is well worth it.

I'm only seven people away from hitting 100 likes on my Facebook author page! I'd really love it if you would support my writing career by taking a few seconds and liking the page yourself. Thanks so much!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
