Frustration

Sometimes I just do not understand why the system works the way it does. There are so many children out there that would be better off in homes and living with families rather than in group homes. The system has families who are ready, willing and able to do so and they drag their feet in the sand. These children are stuck in group homes for the holidays when we have families that they could enjoy the time with. Well, it is looking as if I may not get a placement before Christmas. They did not even touch the amendment that was sent in October for me to be able to do respit in my home until December and the agency is going to submit the other amendment but has not as this one is not complete. Grrr... I will be on the phone Monday to push them to put in this amendment and to call about the other one. I still have 2 weeks till Christmas which is why the option of a placement seems so unlikely. GRRRRRRRRRRR...
