[QUOTE="Star*, post: 371211, member: 4964"] klmno - I wonder - sometimes - and I'm not kidding at all here if DF and I applied for those foster parent classes to BECOME full-time foster parents and turned our house into a foster parent home and started taking IN the $1500 a month per kid that the state gives here if I wouldn't be able to 1.) supplement OR provide my income 2.) have a home that I could pay the bills for 3.) kept the state off my back because I WOULD be working for the state -technically AND 4.) HAVE the "desired" licensing to "keep" [I][B][U]troubled[/U][/B][/I] youth. Know what I mean?? Want to know the really BIZARRE thing? After all the trouble we had with Dude - after ALL the PROFESSIONAL people that made US feel like we were just complete and utter failures at being parents - WE were approached recently BY the system and asked to become FOSTER PARENTS. WOULD we take in kids like our son(s)..... I mean we stood there, literally with our mouths open, agape, sucking wind like a vortex and I don't think you could have painted a shocked look on our faces more vivid that either of us had naturally. I could NOT slap my hand over DF's mouth and usher him to the van while saying 'Thanks but no thanks' quicky enough, however I have NO doubts because the vehicle we have has no airconditioning - that they heard DF say what he said out loud. - and it was neither complimentary OR Christian in the least. On the other hand - My thought was three boys in the house - all like Dude and Steven? and of course the social worker said - "Well yes, but 1500 a month each x 3 = (then my mind wandered and I thought NOT ENOUGH TO BURY ME) . hahaha.... But it IS a thought.... Hugs for your trouble dear - HUGE ONES and sending some strength your way------ [/QUOTE]
