On Sept. 7th, 2012 I received a call from the foster agency where Brett and I are certified foster parents.  They said they had a baby for us to care for that had a bad heart.  His name is Alexavier and he was still in the NICU.  He was born at 24 weeks and was now officially 5 weeks past full term.  I was very excited to be caring for another special needs child.  I went up to see him that afternoon.  I was nervous to say the very least.  I was going into a situation that wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I had signed up to be a foster parent. I had originally decided to do foster care with special needs children that were adoptable so I wouldn't have to worry about any parents that still had rights.  This situation was definitely not what I had planned on.  But this child was available and needing a set of parents desperately! I said a pray in the car before going into the hospital.  I told the Lord I felt like I was being led into this situation but that I was scared.
