Foster Care - Recertification Process
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- We have been a fost adopt family for 7 years. We wanted to share what the process of getting recertified each year looks like. God has truly blessed our family and we love to tell our story. God doesn’t call everyone to foster care, but He calls everyone to something. What is He calling you to do?

I love this!!! It's not easy, but you are right, it takes a calling to do! 🥰
Stepping out of your comfort zone is never easy!
@@WalkerFarmFam the unknown is so scary until you know God and trust that He has your back if you are following Him!!
Melvolas Homestead Amen!
It is 03/18/2024. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have watched this, and it gives me the good chills of LOVE that you have opened your hearts and home to more children. Right now you have "Little Bear". Thank you is never enough to say, but PRAISE THE LORD for you giving other children a home, and best of all, for the 3 children you have--Ranger your first true born, Mazzy and Ransom, your 2nd and 3rd CHOSEN born and raised. GOD BLESS!

Fostering takes a special person. Good that y'all are able to help the kids. Y'all are a special family. GOD bless y'all.
So refreshing to see someone who "walks the talk" ! 💝
God has blessed us!
I have a friend who fostered a little girl with charge syñdrom. She has been adopted. She cannot see very well andwears hearing aids. She cannot swallow so she is tube fed through her tummy. She is now 18 years old. She has another little girl just like the first girl. This baby they adopted straight away. She is 14. Her parents are not young. But they have Soo much love for these girls. Thank you for adopting. So amazing!!!
That’s awesome! ❤️ Please tell them “Thank you for saying YES!!”
It’s amazing that y’all do that. My sister out in Missouri fosters and has also adopted 2 children. You have a beautiful family.
We adopted our only child at birth nearly 27 years ago. Our son is definitely God’s blessing in our lives. Your family is a true testament to how good God is to all believers. Bless you all for sharing Mazzy and Ransoms story with us.
That is awesome!
You are an amazing inspirational family !
I've watched several of your videos recently and didn't realize that two of your children were adopted. That's the way it should be, every child loved and treated the same.
Your children are too stinking cute. They are blessed to have you as parents.
Thanks for all you do.
Stay happy, healthy and safe.
God bless
Thank you for the kind words ❤️ We are truly blessed!
This is such a heartwarming video. I love your calling. I use to babysit for a family that had 4 of their own and then they started foster care. I remember all of the children they had and the parents names were Jim & Donna Faulkner. It is a special calling for special people. They were neighbors in Detroit and moms best friend to have coffee with. God bless you and your family 👪 🙏💞🌹
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Adoption is so so AWESOME 👍💗.
My parents adopted me when I was 7 days old, not thinking they could have children, however, within an 8 year span they gave birth to 2 more daughters. They gave us all names that started with an "L", so needless to say, we've all been called each others names on several occasions 🤣, and it still happens. Adoption is a wonderful, wonderful thing and more families need to do that as there are so so many children that NEED a great home.
Love to you both for giving these beautiful children a loving, fun, adventurous, happy life, that they might not have had if not for YOU 👍👍👍💗😁🤗
God Bless,
Laurel 😁💗
We appreciate your kind words. Have a blessed day!
One of my favorite videos. Seeing the children when they were infant s.relay was special. Stay Blessed
My daughter and I fostered for about three years. We had 6 in all. 2 babies one at a time and 3 siblings plus 1 baby. The fostering was the easy part. The department was broken and changed every month or so. When the siblings and baby were adopted and left, we stepped down. Which was very sad because we loved what we were doing but just got tired of the system. You’ll are a special couple for sure.
Thank you for saying “YES!” It’s a very broken system for sure.
We fostered for 3&1/2 years and were blessed to have 23 kids bless our home during those years. God bless you!
Thank you for saying “YES!” Blessings to you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Y'all have such a beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️!! God bless you and keep you.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

That is awesome Mary! Thank you for saying “YES”!
I am adopted how wonderful you have done this to bless these children into a life full of God/Jesus
Hey Meg Mills, we never expected all the blessings that come from adoption. God is good!
They are a blessing to us!! We are so grateful that God called us to be their parents! ❤️
I did foster care when I was single. I had a small home so had just one child at a time -- a teen girl. It was a very rewarding experience for me and I truly believe for the girls that lived with me, too. If I weren't so old, I would consider fostering infants at this time.
That is great Deb! I am sure you were a blessing and isn't it amazing how much of a blessing the children are?
Yes, they were a blessing in my life in many ways. I never had children of my own but I believe I had great parenting skills. Anyway, have a good one
I AM SOOO AMAZED AT HOW MUCH YOU ALL LOOK ALIKE 👼👼👼👼👼

Simply Jan Homestead We are the lucky ones. They bless us each day!
So. I started watching this one several hours ago and finally got to finish. Now I am super intrigued. I came over via your subscription and a live or two or three.... I think I am glad I did. See the below. OH! And I completely agree about do what you are called for! Sometimes it is the scariest thing ever to put so much faith in Him that you'd walk on water just because He says you can. But, it is so very worth it every single time!
I had a hand in raising 11 children that were not biologically mine. I had two bios. I raised and/or helped raise 13 total children. I was never a conventional foster parent. The kids or parents or circumstance came my way. The 11th bonus was the only one who went through actual court. That is a story in of itself. I had the final bonus a couple days shy of a year when the child was about to be placed with a bio parent and I was going to be down to my bios I decided I had to be done with raising other people's children. I did most of this raising as a single mom and frankly I was worn out or at least that is what I thought. God had other plans for me that I was not even remotely aware of and again that is a whole other story.
Every bit of sacrifice and struggle over those years was worth every minute. God gave me the sign that my time was done in this realm of service on the day the 13th was given over to the bio parent. The judge counseled the parents to be grateful for what I had done for the child as I had done it without any assistance. The judge continued to pour out accolades and gratitude which of course is not why I did it, but it certainly was a very moving way to cap off the many years of caring for any others that needed it. With tears streaming down my face I silently thanked the judge. I also thanked the Lord for giving me a clear message that that season of grace was over for me and I felt like the judge's words were His.
Now, I move into a new season for which I am ever so grateful to have.
That is awesome! It is a roller coaster of emotions for sure, but so worth it! Thank you for caring for so many children! Thank you for the comment and we look forward to watching all your videos in the future.
Walker Farm Fam - Awe! Thank you! And you’re welcome! I’m looking forward to yours.
Thank you sweet lady! You are a true blessing to these children! I thank God for people like you and Cassie and her husband!! Your heart is truly a beautiful one! Take care and God bless you and keep you safe and well 🙏❤️🤗

Oh wow, didn't know ur family history, bless u.🤗
God has truly blessed us!
We live near y’all here in Oklahoma. We have had 9 little travelers the last 4 years and adopted 3 siblings over the last 2 years through Cherokee Nation . It’s hard on my heart when they leave but worth every minute. God bless you for what you do.
Cherokee Fields Oh awesome. Praying for your journey and THANK YOU for answering the call!
I think you are doing a great job raising those beautiful children. (Dutch introduced me to your channel.)
Appreciate it!!!!
Blessing God has giving your children a beautiful family.
Thank you so much!

Very kind of you to think of the children.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
God bless you ya'll are great parents be safe Gods blessing hold you tightly
Thanks Patricia!
Tears of joy for you & your family 🥰🙏🏻
Girl I went through all of that still have all my clearances, but got denied due to living in a 2 bed room house. They made me really mad due to the fact they knew from the beginning we were in a 2 bed room house. Then they gave me another reason, they told me they were looking for a life time home for the kids when in fact foster care is supposed to be a temporary situation that could become a long term / adoption situation. I never said I wouldnt adopt but I would need to see how fostering went first. anyway bless you for what you are doing, My niece does foster care and she has 5 girls of her own with only 2 still at home now and she adopted her last foster daughter.
tiggercares Awww man. Hate to hear it didn’t work out. Thank you for being willing though!!
@@WalkerFarmFam I might try again if we buy a house in the near future.
I was all choked up. 😊😊
Appreciate you watching!

Gand VCassie, You two have such a sweet anointing from God to care for the children that come from such difficulty and heartbreaking situations. It is such a mighty calling to do what you do. Also, you are a blessing to all of your subscribers that follow your videos. Keep up the good work.
randy chappelle Thank you Randy. They are a blessing.

Thank you!
You guys are an amazing family!!

God is good 🙌🏻
Awesome family!
❤️
The child will be blessed...as will your home. ❤❤
They are a blessing!
So glad your sharing & bringing awareness to this!! At one point when my son was 5 I really wanted to foster but I was met with a lot discouraging info & the fact I was a single parent I probably wouldn't have been accepted 😔 so I didnt try but I think a lot has probably changed now!! Bless y'all for stepping up & providing a beautiful life for children 🙏😁😊🤗
GdyUpGal Gypsy Adventures Depending on what state/location rules are different but as long as it’s a safe/healthy environment, I don’t see why that would be a problem. But some areas of more rules.
What a lovely video .
Thank you Cynthia! 🤗
Oh my goodness how cute all your kids were at their very young age! Isn't about time for you both to adopt another baby so we can watch him or her grow up?
God Bless You All.
❤️
👍❤️ Great ending!
Thank you!
you guys are amazing. I wish we had the room and time to do this. My sister is adopted and shes been one of the best things to happen to our family.
Cooper Family Homestead Maybe one day the opportunity will work out ❤️
