Miss Mousie Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm so sorry, Pamela. May the Monkey always feel the love she knows in your home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. :grouphug: It just isn't fair that the children are always the ones to suffer. The system seems to work without a heart and half a brain. I believe this, because anyone with half a brain would make better life decisions for innocent little ones.

mumto2 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I am so sorry Pam. I prayed this would not happen. I know in the UK they take a scrapbook(I think they call it a Life book) with them to each placement which the foster parents are supposed to update. Are you able to send something like that with her so she will be able to see how much she is loved later? Also I will keep you in my prayers -- she hasn't left your care yet!

SKL Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm sorry. You did what you could. :( I pray for the best outcome for Monkey going forward. I'm an adoptive mom too. Even though I built my family through adoption, it hurts my heart to see little ones moved around. So I hope this is the last time for her at least, and I hope her new family knows how to love her as she needs to be loved. Strength to you and your family. And thanks so much for all you have done for foster kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momto5blessings Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Pamela, I am so very sorry. The first year of a child's life is of paramount importance. Thank God that you and your family were there for her. That being said, I know how very devastated all of you must be right now....I am so very sorry. It is the horrible system that has failed her, not you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I really appreciate all the support. I think I'm doing much better than I thought. I'm surprised I'm not a heap on the floor with drool everywhere and cops speaking to my husband because of the wailing coming from our home. I had tried to prepare myself. That helps on MY side. It doesn't do much for my fear that this is going to devastate my poor baby who has already had too many hurdles in her short life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm sorry. :( Is there any chance you can/will get her back if/when they realize they can't handle it?

Take very good care of yourself right now, and know that many are holding you close to their hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleidoscope Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm so sorry. It stinks, just plain stinks. Every time we had to go through a goodbye I thought I'd die. Nothing quite shreds your heart like this kind of good-bye. And you just have to ride ou the stinking emotional roller coaster. I hated that. I always wanted to get to the end so I could somehow feel normal again. But nope gotta do all the stinking ups and downs first. The only thing that gave me strength was my belief that as much as I loved those kids I was sure God loved them more. I still wish his plans made sense to me though.
