I turned down a placement yesterday. I'm afraid I'm becoming bitter. I am getting a backbone when it comes to dealing with the system. The children were 5 yrs and 7 months. The mother was crazy, schizo. The family members wanted to keep the children but they can't handle the crazy mother! Then the parents had visits that would interfere with me picking my own children up from school, and would cut into Kindergarten for the 5 yr old. I just do not want to deal with that drama.
About visits: Sometimes visits should not be done. I just can't agree with letting a child in the same room with a parent that beats them. Not always of course, Lovebug's mom loves her and should visit her. But let's call a spade a spade. If your unfit your unfit. Consequences for abusing your children, not understanding from liberals who love to blame being poor, uneducated, and abuse in the parents past for excuses. What about the children who don't want to see their parents. They don't have a choice.
Well, I am on my soapbox this morning. There are 2 little boys we really want. They are in our friend's foster home and they don't want to adopt. We MAY take them, we are waiting for other people to decide. Lots of abuse issues with the older one. We are praying about it, it may not work out.

I appreciate the work you do for the children you foster, but do you REALLY have to bash liberals? We're also the ones who advocate for increased and better quality services for these/our kids. We are not the enemy.
Praying for you, that if your friends foster children are the one's God desires in your home that it will work out!
Don't burn out! You should not feel bad turning down a placement, especially right after your respite week and case drama. Focus on your kiddos, because that's where all the joy comes from, right?
I know, I don't mean to 'bash' liberals. It just seems there is no lines.
