Scary Moments!

You may not believe this but straight after I wrote the blog last week I got a message to say that parents who went into the "unknown" last year are back...and now want to see their children.  NOW... just when we have found a new rhythm and 'stories' are integrated and we all seem "ok" with our set up as it is.

A disruption...

A break...

It feels so scary now.  We worked so hard all of last year to get the meeting set up and it failed more than once. 

I just need to say this again that it is really hard to share kids you thought you were getting as part of your family forever.  I understand that foster care requires a working relationship with birth parents, but we were signing up for children who had no chance of ever going home... future outside of our care meant... long term institutionalization. They were apparently adoptable.

Found out yesterday that the meeting is not happening anymore on Monday anyway, because the social worker is sick.

This journey... keeping heart and mind open is challenging.  Oh what I would do to shelter these children from their difficult reality!
