I got the phone call today the boys will be going to family next month.
I am heartbroken. I am on one hand elated they will be with family but on the other hand I am upset they are leaving here.
Let me bitch that the mom COMPLAINED that the kids were not wearing "the clothes she bought" and that her youngest son had underwear on that were too small. Umm lady those underwear ARE the ones you sent him with. And oh my goodness they are dressed in other clothes. SO SUE ME! Old Navy and Gap I think, same things my kids wear. Crazy woman
About Me

- Here I am now... The mother of 4 wonderful boys, present and former foster mom to seven boys!! True at times there is an overload of testosterone and fart humor...but I muddle through well enough hehe. I am spoiled too, there is no lack of gentlemen opening doors, car doors etc... of course that balances out with no lack of bad aim in the bathroom! The news that shocked the world....? We are expecting a baby girl in March 2008!! I am a stay at home mom. I work more now than I did when I held a "real" job. Hubby is in the Navy. I cannot convey how proud I am of him. He is truly the man of my dreams and a better husband than I ever thought I deserved. Well that is the general overview of me ;) enjoy the blog. Don't know something? want to know? ASK. I love comments to my ramblings too.

That was my experience with a foster too. The Moms look for anything to pick at to make you look bad. They connot handle the fact that these other people are more fit to raise their children than they are.
Well I should be happy that the only thing she could find was that they were in new clothes and the underwear she got her child were too small.
Just crazy. I am dreading telling the boys. I KNOW Frankie will be so upset he has said he wants to stay here and how he likes having friends because he never had friends before etc.
Oh, that sucks! That must be so hard for you! I am sure their mom had to find something to complain about just so she didn't have to face up to the fact that you have done wonders for these boys when she wasn't there. Hold your head up, what you have done is a great blessing to these boys!
If the family has more issues in the future, will you be the one to foster these boys again if you have room? I am not too familiar with foster care and just wondered?
I HATE visits when they start to turn into "what can I find wrong with the foster parents" as if we had ANYTHING to do with them being with us in the first place. I can't believe it took this long to place with these relatives, once the boys have somewhat settled and are starting to bond. I really hope if they do move that it works out, they don't need to keep moving. Yuck. So sorry!!!
I'm really sorry Gina. If possible, have the social worker come over to talk to the boys about their new placement.
I know how much you love the boys and I am confident that your presence in their life made a tremendous difference.
I am here for you.
Wow a tough thing you must be going through. Just know that you have helped these boys tremendously. Probably more then you will ever know or understand.
