It does stink. Becoming a foster parent involves a lot of the same thing. Plus we had to do a crap load of weekends doing classes. I kept thinking that if everyone was required to do what we had to do to become foster parents before they could have kids, then there wouldn't actually really be a need for foster parents. KWIM?

Don't let it get to you. You are the "real" mom. I think they think they are protecting children, but really, how many really scary people do you see out there actually trying to take financial, emotional and mental responsibility for children??!

Hang on. When it's all said and done it will be wonderful. And we will rejoice with you.
