Did I mention that things change in foster care....sometimes daily.
.
I almost wasn't going to post tonight. I am not too happy about the new turn of events. I thought that if I posted I would give away too much information so I need to choose my words carefully.
.
Things have changed in my kids case. I still believe that they will go home in March but to both parents. Mom left her safe place and went back to dad. It makes me sad but there isn't a thing I can do about the outcome of this case.
.
My job is to make sure that while they are in my care they grow. Not just physically, but emotionally and developmentally. I will do my job. Now I have to trust that DSS, the GAL and the courts do their job to protect the children. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen.
.
Sometimes I feel so powerless as a foster parent. Well, I am going off to sulk. I hope that everyone else has a great evening. Mommas, hug your kids.
I understand. And I hate when kids are placed back with a birth parent and you know he's not safe.
ReplyDeleteThere is no benefit for these babies to return home to an abusive environment. However, all we can do is show these kds a stable family life while we have them.
ReplyDeleteOh honey thank you for all you do! I am a waiting parent, and we just got a proposal today for 15 month old twins! I wish my babies had half of what you give...........THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI loved what you said about "My job is to make sure that while they are in my care they grow" . . . That is truly the ONLY THING foster parents have control over.
