One Week Left (fingers crossed)

June 23rd, 2006 at 08:55 pm

Supposedly, I have one week left til I can retire from this foster care business. My last day is next Friday, but there are no plans of where this kiddo is moving so I'm beginning to get just a tad nervous.

I have set it up to be gone as of Sat the 1st, so the bio mom will have to step in and at least take her son. I have told her I don't have room for his things after the 30th either, but I'm guessing she will just leave them here.

Sent an email to the state worker, asking what the plan is? I know she doesn't have one either, but at least I am following the chain of command here. What a broken down system we have in WA state. No one knows where these kids are I don't think.
(and now I'm in a position to recruit others into the same broken system.....I'm going to have to curb some of my opinions)

No money spent today......love these kinds of days. Tiny deposit into my bank account today from half.com and another into my paypal acct. Won't be able to support myself on those, but nice anyway.

Joined a seed exchange group today, was invited by one of my new freecycle gardening friends. Free seeds forever she says!!!

    Wow, I think you have done a good a deed and will be truly blssed. Unfortunately it is not WA that has a system which does not work, FL is one of the worst. They lose children all the time and some of the kids are killed after the fact, the state is many of the cases had knowledge that these kids are/were being abused. If you can hold on please do it's not the kids fault and good luck
