give yourself a pat on the back...
Wanted to say that you are doing a wonderful thing for this baby and you are doing exactly what needs to be done for him in the most formative years of his life. Whether the birth mother knows it or not you are also doing a great service to her. You are not the reason or the one who made the decision to remove her baby. Her actions caused this situation. YOU are nurturing her baby for her. What would happen to him if he really was in a bad foster home or left with the birth mom? Thank you for doing what you do even if the birth mom is not able to!
My latest placement the parents accused me of everything under the sun. Parents met me for all of 2 minutes. Saw the kids for one visit and it was 2 days after placement. Almost everything they accused me of doing to the kids happened and was documented before they entered my home, they claimed the SW's were lying. They were emergency and were only with me for a week yet I think there were around 20 accuisations made against me! It was so frustrating and really petty, some of it made up, stupid things. Thankfully the SW knew the parents and did not worry about it. However, they did have to ask me about most of what was said against me which was VERY frustrating considering the things the BP did to the children. I was super paranoid that something would happen, even a scratch and they would have flipped. I had to relax and I tried to do what you are doing. Look at the kids and know they are worth it and they need you. You aren't alone in this!
