Fostering with the Hope of Adoption
I am wondering if anyone else is fostering children with the hopes of adoption....either you cant have kids of your own or whatever? I feel like i am the only one sometimes that is going through this. I don't know any other foster parents that don't already have their own bio children or any women my age in general that don't already have kids that want them. I guess i am just having a hard day...... it is just so hard sometimes to love these little ones and say goodbye to them all the time. I know that was the chance i signed up for but it is so hard. Don't get me wrong if it is meant for them to reunify then i am happy for them and it makes me feel good to know i have made their lives better for the time i have had them but sometimes i get tired of being the babysitter, doing all the hard work, dealing with all the behaviors that these bio parents have created and then they do the bare minimum and the kids go home. I am just trying to be honest about my feelings, maybe it will help to vent. sometimes its hard to give these kids 100% of yourself when you know they will be leaving. How do you constantly try and disconnect your own emotions so you can prepare yourself for them leaving? My agency keeps asking me if we want another placement and i told them i just dont know anymore, my husband and i are seriously considering being done. Just because you want something so badly doesn't mean its going to or should happen. I just don't know anymore what to do. Anyone feel at all how i feel?
