Gael Milestones

Knowing our history is a huge part of confidence and self esteem.  Feeling connected to family and the past helps to anchor us. Because I know these things, I extra worry on behalf of our little foster babies.  It's common for their time in foster care to go unrecorded and unremembered in the way some parents would normally do.  And often even when recorded they move enough that their history gets lost.  It makes me very conscientious about trying to keep and record it.  So if they find me one day again, I can show them pictures, dates, and times, milestones of their life, so they can feel now even if they didn't at some point, how much they were loved and wanted and treasured.
