Becoming a foster parent had crossed my mind more times than I could count. But every time it did, I found a reason to push it off.

Not now. Maybe later. When things settle down.

For years, I lived in that space between feeling called and actually saying yes. And if I’m being honest, I was really good at making excuses sound reasonable.

If you’re reading this and you recognize that tension — the quiet tug toward fostering mixed with a dozen reasons why now isn’t the right time — I want you to know you’re not alone. I was exactly where you are. And I want to share the excuses I made, because I think you might see yourself in them.
