What is the toughest part of being a ___FOSTER MOM______.


The toughest part of being a foster mom is having some control but not all control.  Having a foster child is like having temporary custody of your house.  Imagine having a house but you don't get to make any decisions about that house.  You can't choose the color or where the furniture goes.  You can't decide what happens in the house and who visits the house.  To get the house, you have to give all your information (financials, medical, background check, etc) to the house. 

That is what having a foster kid is like.  The kid lives with you but you can't make any decisions and your life is no longer your own because social workers, therapists, etc are making appointments when they want not when you want.  Those people know everything about you because you have supplied them with all the information about you. 

That is the toughest part of being a foster mom.  You are a mom but not a mom.  I just want to be a mom.

Until tomorrow...
