My Sunshine


She is so full of life and always has been. She was about 14 months old and in foster care when I first met her. Her "other mom" was just a teenager and also in foster care. Thanks to my many years as a foster parent and working with teens, I was chosen to help teach this young mom how to better care for her daughter so they could be reunited. Half way through our little journey, addiction took over and, out of love, one mother asked another mother if she would raise her daughter as her own. Just after her second birthday, this little ray of sunshine became ours. She's incredibly strong and equally warm and inviting. She's my sunshine.
