Re: My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery
Ok, don't worry anymore about her journal. She isn't using it to write. She is drawing butterflies and flowers.
I am going to get alot of heat about this but oh well. A long while back I started the drawn out process of becoming a theraputic foster parent. Long before my pt came under my care....I passed my home study a couple months ago. I have been in close contact with her case worker and as of now we (entire team) have come to the agreement that I would be the most suitable placement for her. She will need ongoing medical care, I am a single woman( no men in house), and I truly know what it takes to overcome what she has gone through. The fostercare system is rough, but I am living proof that you can overcome and live a semi-normal life. I am strong enough that I overcame so much of what she has ahead of her on my own. I know I can help this sweet child. Yes, I am way involved but I am able to help this girl when no one else is there to do it. I refuse to turn a blind eye and just hope for the best. I am sure many of you think I am so wrong in doing this but tell me if you know you can make a difference isn't that what you should do?

It really doesn't matter what we think. What matters is what those involve think, and you and the team your working with know the case better than any of us, and if you are willing to give of yourself and take this child on, then God bless you. You know you may see behaviors develop in this child that can be trouble in the future, so you understand the commitment you're making. We aren't here to judge you, or give you absolution.
I wish you and this child the very best, and I hope Jesus sits on your shoulder as you attempt to parent this child physically and mentally. We will all be rooting for you, I'm sure. Do keep us posted.
Blessings to you both.

Thank you so much. I know what the possible problems are, I've had additional training for the theraputic foster care program to deal with potential "problem children" I can't say that I will always know what to do but I do know that I will always do the best I can by her and any future placements I may recieve. Thanks again.
