Our family has really got in touch with foster care recently.
My father's, sister's, daughter (everyone get that?)...is drug addicted and lost custody of her 10-year-old to foster care recently.
The judge stated that if my 1st cousin cannot secure a job, a car, and a place to live for a minimum of 6 months, he is not considering returning her daughter back to her.
Her parents, are in their 80's and are not able to take care of her.
No one else in the family will take this child in.
We are so financially strapped to the limit, we can't take her in, but I have promised my aunt if by next year, she is still in foster care, when I start working, I'll take the child in. I can't stand the thought of that.
Keep in mind...I have NEVER seen this child...but the fact she is family, is making me sick.
This poor girl was in a foster home for 5 months, and fell in love with her foster mother then for reasons no one knows, she was pulled out...and this really devasted the little girl...we have no idea to this day, why such a decision was made.
