Foster Care...it made me cry

So I saw this video yesterday in an all day training we had. As most of you know I work with mostly kids who live with Professional Parents also known as Foster Care, but with a few differences. However how they feel I am sure is NO different then children in "normal" foster care.

I want to say that this is part of the reason I care so much about what we do at my job. I feel we are lucky to have the Professional parents we have and I feel the kids in our services really do have permanency options. We strive so hard NOT to move the kids from home to home, and also we work so hard to make sure they are striving growing and feeling the love that they need. This video just reinforces what our kids and other kids need. I was so touched by this, that I wanted to share it with everyone. It is heartbreaking, and eye opening.

They have it separated out, but the top 4 are the ones we saw yesterday. I can't think of another job I have ever had that I cry at work, and I consider it an honor to be a part of it.
Tomorrow I might post the other video we saw...but too much in one sitting...it was almost too much for me to watch them both in one day.
