When I say it wasn't perfect, you get it, right? I had a thorough hand-washing immediately following the event before I sat down to the laptop to vent!!!
On another note...
Do you know how frustrating it is as a foster parent to be told that your foster child's case in court will be heard at 10 and when you and your husband arrive PLENTY early you've missed the whole event? Then you find out that the foster child's mother's attorney dared to call you and your husband neglectful, suggesting you're the reason the said child is not gaining weight!!! Part of me wants to completely throw in the towel and go straight adoption to have another permanent member of our family!!! Seriously--it's not worth it! We weren't even able to be in the courtroom to defend ourselves. I love it when the biological families act like we're the enemy! Wake up, people, your own actions (or lack of actions) caused DHS to remove your children from your home! My job is to simply care for the child while he is in DHS custody.
URGH! Obviously I need to vent--sorry to anyone who expected something light-hearted or sweet! It's just not happening today, or at least right now.

Sorry Jenn. I wish that it could be different. Hopefully the next ct. date will be better? Thanks for not throwing in the towel and for giving Noah a loving home and meeting his needs. I know that he is in your home for a reason!! I know that it is frustrating also, I wish that it was easier and that the parents could just learn to change overnight or that something was different but unfortunately this case will not be that way. Keep staying positive and doing the best that you can with Noah! He needs you and your AMAZING family.
