Today was unfair and that is the only way I can describe it.\u00a0 I am always a little hesitant to share about things related to our foster because I want to respect his identify\/his story and am also afraid of doing something that may be a reason for his removal from our home.\u00a0 \u00a0But today, I am going to share facts and those are just that facts.\u00a0 Visits are every other week with this being a week I expected a visit however, the visit schedule is usually made monthly so with July 1st on a Wednesday and Friday a holiday I was unsure of what would happen.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Tuesday June 30th at 10:36am, I was informed that a visit was scheduled for today. I was asked if I could provide transportation.\u00a0 \u00a0I declined politely because the options for me included driving for 3 hours to drop him off and pick him up or driving 1.5 hours and sitting in a parking lot for 2 hours in a car.\u00a0 \u00a0Around 6pm, the timing was confirmed and he would be picked up at 11 am.\u00a0 I told Easton and we wrote the schedule on the board.<\/p>\n
This morning, he was up bright and early!\u00a0 He even finished his school work before 8am. Today I 10:03 am, I received a text that the visits had been cancelled and would be rescheduled.<\/p>\n
As a grown adult who has been a mother for over 30 years, I was in tears, how unfair this feels.\u00a0 I asked for an explanation to give to him but never received any response.\u00a0 I am left to explain to a six year old things I don’t understand!\u00a0 This is unfair and one of the concrete examples as to what is wrong with the Foster Care system!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
