How did I get here? What happened to me? My tiny body is slouched in a miniature
wheelchair, and I have various tubes running in and out of my abdomen. I am trying to hold my head upright and trying
to make sense of my surroundings. I am
trapped in my own little world of severe disabilities. And to make matters worse, I am trapped in
the foster care system. This is not the
life I would have chosen.
Stories of inspiration, hope, and love - written by a foster/adoptive mother to beautiful babies, terrific teenagers and everything in between. Psalm 113:9 - "He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD." ~Belinda Hogstrom

Rescue Me
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in
whom I take refuge. He is my shield and
the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
(Psalm 18:1-2)
(Psalm 18:1-2)
“It’s here!” she hears
from across the room. “Come quick! Let’s open it and see what’s inside!” The postman has just delivered a small brown
package, the one they have all been anticipating for the past few weeks. The other adults in the room are willingly
interrupted from their duties, and come over to get a peek at the contents of
the package. The older children nearby
pause briefly from their activities, sensing the excitement in the air. One little girl, who has been playing
quietly, tries to see past the children who are crowding around, curious about
this change in the daily routine. She has
no idea that with the arrival of that package, her life is about to be forever
changed.
