I had my reality check with my first foster child. He was not going into what I thought was the best family situation and I complained about how he was better off with us. DH's insightful and big mouth best friend said he was better off with bio family and explained why. I got it. It was hard to hear but he was right. We were not the 1st or 2nd best option for that child. Now that I've got it, it's easier to take. It's about what's best for the child. It doesn't mean you can't be a good parent.
All the torture that the foster care system has inflicted on me has paid off by helping me grow as a person. I was dragged kicking and screaming into this growth but I'm there now.
