The Keilens' Foster Journey
Michaela and Brandon Keilen are on a new journey of foster care, and they are overjoyed to have the honor of caring for two brothers, a newborn and a three-year-old. The Keilens don't know what the future holds or how long they will have the boys in their home. Adoption is not on the table right now, but Michaela has an incredibly selfless view of the situation. She says, "I am going to love them like they are going to be here forever, and if my heart is broken in a million pieces when they go home, I will know that I held nothing back."
They are pouring all they have into these boys, regardless of how long the placement lasts, which is an amazing testimony of God's love. You can watch the Keilens' recent question and answer video on their YouTube channel.
