We have finished Foster training classes, our paperwork has all been turned in and we have our homestudy visit scheduled this week. My kids are beyond excited and can’t wait to begin this journey! We had a great turnout for our 1st foster training class at church; however, the level of commitment has been somewhat disheartening. When we finished classes, only 2, that is correct, (TWO) packets of paperwork , had been turned in. Look at the statistics below. WE, the body of Christ, the ADOPTED children of our heavenly Father should be caring for them, we are to mirror the same sacrificial love that He so graciously gives to us. We are his hands and feet!

Tremayne, born September 1999, is a very active young man. He enjoys all kinds of sports, including football, basketball and soccer. He likes to play outside and is very good at gymnastic-type activities. He enjoys playing with the computer and video games. He says he wants to be a police officer when he grows up. Tremayne is very much a “people person” and does not meet a stranger. He has a very sweet personality and can be very affectionate.
Adoptive parents for these young men should be very patient and committed to being long-term positive role models. This sibling group will benefit from living in a structure environment with an adoptive family where both parents are patient and structured and willing to keep them all active. All of them could benefit from a strong, male authority figure.
