Today was the day. We went first thing this morning to get Amia from her foster home. It was obvious that she had been informed she was moving away because she had a little fit in their car before getting out. She cried when I put her in our van and buckled her. However, it was over quickly and she was teasing Andy, who was sitting back there with her, before we knew it. At bedtime she said she wanted her caregiver. After reminding her that this was her new home and how much we loved her she snuggled in accepting of my words.
My heart go out to her though because she is making it clear that she understands she's left something (one) behind. I don't mean she's talking about it a lot or moping around; she has brought it up 2 or 3 times today. I hope and pray that she doesn't go through a time of depression or grief. It is completely natural for children in her shoes to do that but my prayer is that God saves her from that heartache and instead is able to think of adding people who love her rather than taking away.
