It will be a change for every one. <br /><br />With your wisdom, you can give this family a chance to live with love and no fear.

You have a kind, caring and generous heart, and the lady and the three little ones will be so pleased to be surrounded by such love at this worrying time in their lives. I wish you and hubby good luck, and I know that you will keep us posted on how things are going. I wish there were more people like you in the world.

Total strangers who did basically what you are doing. I can't tell you what that year with them did for me. While I was pretty self confident, I also saw what a happy couple acted like, what helping others was all about and how to get on my feet again when my family turned their backs on me. You are both very special people to do this and I believe she will benefit as well as the kids. So proud of you! Pay it forward! Here's the link. It's in 3 parts but this should remind you that what you're doing is the greatest gift you can give someone regardless of the outcome.<br /><br />http://bouncinbarbs.blogspot.com/2010/11/always-count-on-family-just-not-mine_05.html<br /><br />Hugs and much love my friend!BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432729957196570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753097304568263004.post-5852913477486807542011-10-08T08:21:04.183-04:002011-10-08T08:21:04.183-04:00You'll be fine.

You and your husband have wonderful, gracious hearts and it great thing that you are doing.<br /> <br />Don't worry about the house being child proofed [too much - Move your breakables, but as long as the kids are being attended to you don't have to plug every socket or cushion every sharp corner. They are pretty big kids.] We never child proofed a thing - and look! They all lived! heehee<br /> <br />And your rules [those are rules?] are easily abided by. She would do good to listen to those two simple things. They are in her best interest.<br /> <br />Take care and don't worry. I am sure it will be just fine.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753097304568263004.post-76962693494720701112011-10-07T23:51:05.560-04:002011-10-07T23:51:05.560-04:00Yes, some decisions are so big you do want a cryst...Yes, some decisions are so big you do want a crystal ball. You are doing this for many good, decent and loving reasons. This thought alone can give you peace no matter how it all turns out.
