The young lady who came after the disastrous abduction did not stay with us for long. I had told the case worker who called to see if we might be ready for a placement I felt having another child come to stay with us would be healing for us. It would show the kids that things don’t always end in such traumatic ways. I didn’t realize how healing it would be until after she was gone and Chica Marie found a note with the following written, addressed to the next child who might be the bedroom and find the note.
“This is [Foster Child] if you find this Empty Arms is a good foster mom. Don’t be scared you are safe – love a different foster kid… Don’t be scared. She is nice and will take care of you I promise. Don’t be scared to ask questions have fun – love a different foster kid. You’re safe.”
And now we are waiting on the next possible placement once again.
