Unless you’ve ever lost someone then you know what it feels like, but this is ten times worse. Today my three younger brothers and sisters were taken from my family.
Almost two and half years ago my parents became foster parents to three younger kids who needed a loving home for them to grow up in. Through the two and half years my family has gone through a lot with them. When they were brought to our home the intent was to adopt them. They had been taken from there moms several times. They are other family members around but the one who wanted them failed her home study so that left no one. Two and half years later and a million court dates all we were waiting for was for them to terminate the mother’s rights.
But yesterday was a very different story. My parents had a meeting with all the social workers (you have no idea how many people it takes) and the kid’s social worker said that they were being taken from the home and going to live with their Grandpa. They told my parents that even if the mothers rights were going to be terminate that they were not going to let my parents adopt these kids.
I felt like the county said that my parents weren’t great parents and I STRONGLY disagree. My parents have done everything for those kids. I really don’t know much of the details but I do know that one of the things that they said were the kids were dirty and they complained about there hair. I can tell you that those little kids have never been dirty. Yes they are kids and they get dirty but DIRTY? And let’s talk about their hair. The mom would not give permission to cute their hair EVER. The county finally set up appointments to get there hair cuts. So they can’t even blame my parents on there hair.
There are a lot of people I am mad at because of this situation. But most of all I am extremely mad at God. I don’t get why He would bring three beautiful children into our lives, let us fall in love with them and then boom… GONE! It doesn’t make sense.
PLEASE PLEASE don’t pretend like you understand when you don’t. I know how much I am hurting right now but I can’t even begin to understand how my mom and dad are feeling. It be easier if they just died… and I know that sounds bad, but if they died I wouldn’t have to worry about them.
If you want to do anything please pray for my family as we grieve losing three little kids.
