Foster care updates

I had to turn down a young sibling group of three about a week ago. It broke my heart to say "no" but I only have room in my current vehicle for 2 children in addition to my own. I wasn't sure how I would work out transportation issues if I accepted a placement with more than 2 children.

Today I learned through the foster care grape vine that they were returned home already. So that would have been a short lived placement.

So we are still waiting on a placement. I am ready. At the same time I can't bring myself to hope for a placement because for children to land in my home that will mean that another family is going through the trauma of separation. I can't wish that on anyone.
