Different Worlds

 I was talking to a co-worker last week and in the course of our conversation she mentioned how her ex-husband didn’t really want kids and he certainly didn’t want a second after their first oopsie child. But, one night they got drunk on vacation and he recklessly said, “Hey, you wanna get pregnant?” Then nine months later their son was born. If I hadn’t met her living, breathing son I wouldn’t believe her tale. Like, this actually happens? To real people? I guess we just live in different worlds.

Healing Placement

 I thought it might take a lot longer, but last Thursday I got a call checking to see if we thought we were ready for another placement. There was an 11 year old girl who was coming into care after being with a grandparent for a while. She is the youngest sister becoming the oldest (besides Primero, but we see him so little) in our home. Things have been going pretty good, but it doesn't seem like she will be with us for very long but we shall see. Regardless, having her here has helped us settle our fears from what happened with the girls who were abducted from our home.
