Life's Changes

[crap-king]

Well for sometime time now my wife and I was trying to have a child. Thought all was gonna be alright 2 years ago when the wife got pregnant but after 5 months we lost the baby and we were devasated for somewhile. Hard to understand God's Plan sometimes but we have to keep our faith and know that God does have a plan. Last September we started taking classes and decide to try to foster kids in need and try to adopt if possible. Well Friday at 4:45 PM we got a call and they wanted us to take a brother and sister 4 and 2 years old. They came into our home for a visit Saturday and Sunday, and they have been with us full time Since Monday Morning. 2 of the sweetest kids you will ever see - well behaved( they are kids though) the 2 year old is a real girly girl and the 4 year old is all boy - I stayed out of work Monday and then worked all day Tuesday - when I got home Tuesday they ran to the door hugging me jumping up and down cause I was home - makes cancelling Superbowl Party and extra job I had on Friday Night seem so meaningless. Life has changed so much for the good - God's Plan is good and I think in full effect. And by the way I had the outdoor channel on and the little boy saw someone catch a fish and he got so excited. I told him I fishing poles and he ask if I had one for him and I said yes I do and he got excited and we had to go to the basement and see them - and then we had to go look at the boat - I got to go now and get him a insulated suit so we can get out there as soon as it warms up a little - his paw paw done got him a life jacket as well as the little girl so I got replacements for ncnat now

Thats a win win situation there! Those are some lucky kids and you guys are just as lucky as them. God does always have a plan for our lives if we just wait on it and see what it is when it comes. The world could use a lot more folks like you two. Congrats on the new family.

Good for you man. Those kids look real happy. My 7 year old was watching the outdoor channel with me last saturday morning and she said "We need to go fishing---soon!"...and we will.

Thanks so much for sharing your news.

I learned a long time ago Crap-King that a lot of good can come from a bad situation and boy it sure did in this case happy for you and your family

Glad it all worked out. I don't mind being replaced by them.

Jay, you got a great deal- those two great young'uns for that nasty old dog, Nat. Congratulations to you, your wife and those lucky kids. You'll be a great dad.

Congrats ! Can't wait for pictures of first fish caught by each.
Nothin better than that ear to ear grin from a young one with a fish on their line. My three are 14,13,&12 & nothing makes me prouder than when they "out do" me on the water.

Congrats Crap-King, it takes special people to adopt and raise kids and I'm sure you guys are the ones "picked" to just that. I have read alot of post here and you and your family seemed to be well respected through out the fishing community. It's a privilage to have kids and raise them in a Christian home. Good luck in the future and be sure to post pics of them on their upcoming crappie trips.
