We are coming to the end of our
foster parent approval process. It has
been a journey being foster parents and being approved. It is different because we had the child
before we were approved or had classes; we learned a lot along the way, and it
is never an easy process to learn. I do
think I learned some things from the process of what is expected of us. It is mind boggling the standards that Social
Services will hold foster parents to but not expect much of biological parents. Everything is a lot of stress too. Social Services will research your
relationships, your life, who your friends are, your job, your ideology, and
how you raise your children. Everything
about you is information open to them.
Ultimately, we shall see where it
leads us. Which it will be with us adopting
or saying goodbye we do not know. It is
an adventure we signed up for and will continue to see to the end. As David puts it, even if we do not get to
adopt, we hope that whatever influence we have on her now will help them
through what they will go through in the future.
