Thank you for being a foster parent. Those kids sure need someone that can love them.

Each school year, my fifth graders and I read Betsy Byars' The Pinballs. It's a very well put story about foster care. To coincide with it, I organize a charity drive with a state foster care organization. We collect supplies for the foster kids there and guest speakers come in to talk to my students about what it is like. Last year, a foster mother came and brought her two foster babies. It was so touching.

Thank you for all that you do. I know it must be hard.

Just to let everyone know our little boy we have been fostering has gone into a mother and baby unit today. This as been the hardest day of our lives to give this baby boy back, hopefully eventually we will see him again once he has settled in, but for today, tomorrow and the next couple of months this hurts like hell, our hearts have been ripped out.

oh Angie, huge hugs to you and your family. I can't imagine how hard that is. Bless you for being a foster parent. I hate when kids are ripped away from perfectly good (foster) homes for another chance with parents that most likely will lead down the same path as before. I can only pray this little one has a good life, no matter what happens in the end.

Hang in there. I hope you still have a good trip.

I'm so sorry. I can only imagine what you are feeling. Big big hug!

I am so sorry to hear this We had been raising our nephew technically as a foster child. We were planning to adopt and then his mom came back into the picture. We had to hand him back to her on June 30 for "another chance." My heart is still breaking and I truly know how you feel. Our little man is 18 months old now. We got him when he was 10 months old. We are still struggling with it. It is very hard to see him now, especially since he screams when I have to take him back to his mom. He still calls me Mama and my husband Daddy. Luckily his mother is allowing us to stay in his life (she is not my sister and my brother is not around)

I truly feel your hurt and pray only the best for you and that precious baby.

Big I cannot imagine how hard it must be, you are so strong being able to let him go back with the mother. I hope it gets a little easier and a mutual agreement can be made.

Hang in there, we're here to listen

I can't begin to fathom the heartache you feel... my thoughts are with you and your family

 

[peanut1967]

Thankyou for such kind words. Today is going to be such a hard day, he filled my days, he left a very big hole and boy does it hurt.

On the positive side my kitchen cabinets have alll been cleaned and I am now onto the windows this being 8.30 am in the mornings....I cant tell you how sad I feel. We leave for disney on Monday and I would give it all up just to have him back, I am really not in the mood for this holiday.

Hi Angie... I am sooo sorry to hear you are no longer looking forward to this trip.. I cannot begin to iminage how your heart is breaking right now.

On a 100% completly different note I was looking at your blog and saw you love B&J's Oatmeal cookie Ice Cream and wanted to let you know it is not discuntinued here in the US. You can get it in scoop shops and by the pint so if you have a car and are villing to venuture off site make sure you get your self a pint.

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

I am so sorry to hear this news. ((HUGS)) from us and I hope some day you can have him in your life again.

 

[SamSam]

Big hugs to you. I can only imagine the heart wrenching pain you must be feeling right now. Bless you for being a foster parent.

Sending you hugs from far away -- what a horrible situation. I hope all works out well and that you and the rest of the family enjoy your vacation. Family togetherness and pixie dust may be just what is needed to ease your sorrow a little bit.

It's a tremendous thing to be a foster parent. You obviously have a very big heart.
