Sometimes I Wonder...

...why people don't do their jobs in order keep children safe. It is a big deal.

If your responsibility is to visit a child's foster home, then you need to make that visit as soon as you can and visit regularly. I don't mind my day being interrupted if I know it is for the purpose of making sure my child is in a safe place. Of course, I know that (A) is safe here, but his GAL does not. For all he knows, we could be horrible people and (A) could need help. It is his job to make sure that he is ok.

Sorry. I get a little worked up when I see the potential for children to be at risk. Especially after hearing of situations of children who were abused by their foster parents with no one to stand up for them.


There is something else that is frustrating me in regards to a child's well being, but I won't share about that because I am still trying to figure out that balance of how much is too much information to share on a public blog.

Before I end, let me just say that I am very thankful I don't often feel frustrated like this. (A) has an amazing group of people at social services who cares about him and do everything possible to make sure he is getting what he needs. If only there was a way to spread the care and concern and dedication to the professionals who influence the judge's decisions in court!

Ok...I have taken a few breaths and am beginning to realize that the events taking place at this moment in (A) and Little A's life are of no surprise to God and I know that His timing and purpose is perfect. I will just pray for my own attitude as well as the interactions that I have with the people in their lives.
