Thank you all for the support. I think it would be nice to have at least some time to say bye. I know the system is not perfect I just think a little change in how they do things would be nice. Then again when we get the calls for our kids I've had less than 5 minutes to figure out if we want to take that child or not. Why should it be different when they leave?? I wonder at times what the SW's think about us. I know thier are some foster homes that are not that great but most of the people I have met are and they just want to love a child that need someone. I think that if foster parents were just a little batter taken care of that more people would want to do it. I have friends that were thinking about becoming foster parents before we got into it and now that they have seen what we have gone thru and don't think that they can do it now. I am sure many people are not cut out for this, sometimes I don't think I can handle it if one more leaves but I love doing it and feeling that I can make someone feel wanted and loved.
On another note I have to say it has been nice to spend the extra time with my babies. I know my husbad has felt better, he felt so pulled and that he wasn't giving his best to all the kids. I think it will be a while before we take more on right now. Knowing me I'll get a call and want to take more. Most of the people I know that only had one child at a time don't understand how we can take in that many with only a little notice but I think I would be bored with just one at a time. I need a little choas in my life. Thank you all again.
