'Seeing how healthy and happy they are proves it's been the most rewarding thing I've ever done.'
"We were at church and it was a fostering and adoption Sunday," Ashley told POPSUGAR."At the time, my husband and I had been married for not even a year. He said, 'Hey, we have an extra bedroom,' and at the time I responded, 'No, we don't!' I really immediately shut off the idea of fostering. I had previously worked in foster care and loved it but was really just burned out.
"They called us and asked if we could foster three siblings, and we just weren't ready for it," Ashley said."We thought we were going to end up with a baby, but three hours later, two of the three children — a 1-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl — were at our house! We had nothing set up. We had a crib in the room, but we didn't have anything else ready. I got home from work at 7:15 p.m. and the kids showed up at 7:30.
Going from being a nonparent to a foster mom of two is a huge life change, and Ashley admitted she struggled with some of things she had to give up in the beginning."The first month, I sometimes mourned for my old life," Ashley said."But at the same time, I was really thankful and felt like we were meant for this. I just missed some of the alone time I had with my husband."
