Our daughter Shaula celebrates her 18th birthday today! Being 32 myself, many people wonder how I could have a daughter that age. And it's true, Shaula and her sister did not come to us in the usual way. They are our foster daughters. Well, at least that's what they used to be. You see, it used to be this "arrangement". We were to take care of these girls and the foster care agency would monitor us and pay us for providing care. But all that is gone now... except the girls. In the three years that they have been with us there has been a transformation in my heart and in our family. In the place of foster care now stand two beautiful young ladies that I call my daughters.
Shaula, today is your day! I am grateful to our Creator and Savior that we have been brought together... that you are truly family. I love you and I am so proud of you! Happy birthday sweetie!
