You have stuck this case out so much longer than you had planned, and because of that, Lizzy has had as much stability as should could have. <br /><br />It drives me CRAZY that the system thinks that it's okay to disrupt a 2-year-old's long-term placement because THE GROWN-UPS who don't even see her every day can't get along.<br /><br />Enjoy the little break for a bit! I can't wait to see those newborn preemie triplets that Pipsylou was talking about! ;-Paka.

I know ...It upsets me that the system is so broken. I know that God is bigger than the system and can use all things. Praying for your family especially your son and Lizzy. I know my kids always had a bit of a struggle when one left even when it was a harder child or I should say especially if it was a harder child. Foster care does crazy things with your heart and your emotions can be all over it can be confusing. Thank you for loving Gods babies even when it is hard.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553976812510001971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43056709404910466.post-37544003311764869722011-06-22T01:06:52.965-07:002011-06-22T01:06:52.965-07:00wow mama. this is a case that definitely has to be...wow mama. this is a case that definitely has to be given to god. he knows whats best for her...and she was able to apart of your awesome family and know love.FootPrintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244305923585144422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43056709404910466.post-25607690635348455252011-06-21T21:39:46.304-07:002011-06-21T21:39:46.304-07:00Glad they gave you at least some notice.

Will be praying for you through this. <br /><br />Have a friend that I found out minutes ago that she was told today that she will probably be getting back a 4 yr old that she had from birth to 21 months and the child was returned home. They had thought that there was no way that would happen and had hoped to adopt him. They feared for his life and thought that the next time they heard about him would be reading in the paper that he was dead.<br /><br />Today when they got the call that he was coming back into care tomorrow and could come to their house they cried with relief and joy.<br /><br />Foster care is surely a wild wild wild ride.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314490302788189266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43056709404910466.post-70498322420010619992011-06-21T19:09:48.846-07:002011-06-21T19:09:48.846-07:00One door closes and another one opens ....
