yup^^
it’s surely not helping this kid to know that someone else wants to get rid of him. if she were truly committed, she’d have tried to find a way him help and keep the other children safe without un-adopting him. and if the state was truly committed, they’d have helped her.

"You don't want to throw somebody away," said Helen Briggs, a longtime foster mother. "But sometimes you have to."

that statement, about a 15 year old ferchristsake, makes me want to slap her, no matter how many awards she’s won for foster work. what a crappy thing to say.
