The decision

Well, after their irritating comment that it is in the best interest of the children not to place a child with me while I have the early hours at work that I do I am still upset, frustrated, torn and really really hurt. I love this agency. They placed me when I was a child into a foster family and they were the ones that my adoption went through. I am torn as I want to stay with them. I am actually really thinking about just changing my hours so that they will place. I am just praying that an opening at the center my friends grand children are at that I pick up will come so that they can stay till a little later. I really wish that would happen.

They called and they decided to put in the amendment for me to be able to foster. Thank you. That means that I have to wait for that to be approved. Maybe by that time the kids can stay later and I can change my hours. I am hoping that they might be open to me working 6-230 even though the kids would have to get up before 6 it would not be as bad as getting up at 3. They feel that this would be traumatizing to the kids. I agree if the child was taken in the middle of the night but they don't have to place one of those children with me. Getting up at 5 would not be that bad and many of the homes they would go back to would have to be up early as they would need to work and catch buses. Either way at least they are putting the amendment in and I can just pray that the kids can stay at daycare a bit later.
