[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 344148, member: 6705"] LDM, I think you should go for it. What is the worst they can say - no? FWIW we have a CASA who lives next door to us. She really GETS the kids. She was wishing that she could be assigned way back when, because she really saw what was going on, long before the kids started living here full time. However we all knew she was already too involved. The nice thing is, we have a court-respected witness should we need her. Anyhoo - I think being around difficult children may qualify all of us for something a little above and beyond what we already do or think we can do. We go on and on and on, day after day, living with things many people never think about. And we come out the other side. If something we have learned can help someone else - why not try? Also, around here all we have to have is an allegation of abuse, neglect or the child being a serious offender. We may end up with one assigned to us after all... [/QUOTE]
