The other day a woman who's blog I read stated that a little girl that was being hosted from Ukraine and was struggling with her family and needed a new host family for a few weeks. I talked to my husband and he was on board with it and so we talked to the boys.
The boys were very excited and really thought it would be great to help out. I reminded them it would be short term and that she would have to go back to Ukraine. They were ok with that. Josh even comment that this would be a great time for them to step up and get along better. We also told them the reason why the girl was having difficulties was because she had FAS (like Brandon) and was struggling with coping with all the new adjustments.
We made it very clear that I could not help them as much as I used to and that they had to pick up some slack and also help with the girl in adjusting to everything. May I say I was so PROUD of both my boys. They wanted to help and teach her what a family was and how to handle life little problems. Josh was so cute he even said that the girl sounded a lot like his brother. (yes she did).
Needless to say, we are a bit sad, she will not be joining our family for a few weeks. They found her a host family and it sounds like a good one for her. At least this little girl will have what she needs to help her before she goes back to Ukraine. I am happy for that but a little sad that we won't have this experience with her and for the boys.
Josh thinks we should look for another girl to help out. They want a girl since they have each other as brothers.... so a little girl to help would be great. They both would not mind a baby sister.
We are doing something right with these two little guys, love them and the BIG hearts.
