I have experienced all of the same frustrations with the system and how broken it is. In fact, I have been reading a lot of foster mom stories and am heartbroken to hear this common theme. I couldn't have imagined a "case" as difficult or messed up as ours was. But there are. A LOT. I know you are feeling hopeless right now but I want you to know there IS hope. I do not have any biological children but I have three kids, all adopted out of foster care. Our older two are siblings who we had for a year and a half before they were returned to their birth mother. They came back to us two years later - that was 3 and a half years ago. We have issues with PTSD, ADHD, DID, ODD and speech and processing delays with my youngest. We are getting there and they are healing and doing great. It is so hard to see the hope on the other side of things when you are in the middle of such pain, frustration and even anger at how crazy the whole thing is. I will be praying for you as you go through the "hard part". Danielle B. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949405184684291164noreply@blogger.com
