A day

Well, T and I spent a few hours together the other day. She is so not emotionally 16years old. I blame this on the system. She is adament that she is not going to try any other foster home as she wants to live with me and does not want to change schools. I don't understand why they would move her from a school she is in the middle of her Junior year at and been there since she was a freshman. They know this. They also know that she is going to blow a placement that wont leave her at that school. Why break something that she is doing well with. She is involved and is getting good grades. I still want to spend time with her and she is so clingy. I care about her and believe if the caseworker would call me and talk to me and we could make arrangements to allow overnights and such that this could be the best place for her. I know I am crazy. She only has a year and a half left of school and she will be on to college. She wants a family to call her own. I want to so talk to her about different things but don't want to give her the false hope of moving here. She said she is going to talk to her attorney and also to her judge. I keep telling her to be patient that she needs to be open to other things but she wants it now. GRRRR. They system failing yet another child.
I even tried to convince her that the people she is meeting could be good people and she should share with them her desire to stay at her school to see if this is an option. She is not having it.
