I don't even tell people anymore that we were foster parents...because most of what we read about it in the press is like this story. My heart breaks for that child, any child who has to be taken into custody by the state. That said, we have failed our kids in the system. The last kids we had for a year had four caseworkers. In one year. We loved our foster kids and still see them as adults..they will forever be a part of our family, as much as they want to be...and we never did it for the money. It was barely enough to cover groceries anyway. These kids are so traumatized by the simple act of being removed from the home. 50 cases to one worker? That is staggering. No wonder they have such a turn over.
