As I drove an hour west yesterday toward the town where visits with the bio family are held -- I questioned this very though. I was ready to throw in the towel.
If it weren't for the kids, I would have a long long time ago.
I haven't commented before, but I've been reading for a while. I'm a foster mama too, and I've really been wondering lately whether all this is all worth it. So much stress, tears, frustration...
I have been reading through many "foster mamma" blogs recently and as a former foster mamma - now adoptive mamma of 3 - the frustration, pain and uncertainty of it all takes me right back. All of your comments here remind me how hard it was. The road is long and has a LOT of bumps. This is not easy or for the faint of heart but the work you are doing is absolutely worth it. It is a blessing to pray for all of the amazing foster moms I have been reading about. Danielle B.
