I think of that mom and her family often, and it helps me get through those days when no one seems to be doing very well. I am glad the story is encouraging to you – I know it certainly was to me!

In my job (permancy planning) it is hard to keep your heart open to others and stay positive about their future. I have found that if we don't belive in them it is hard for them to belive in themselves. I think they need to see your positive attitude to have one about themselves. You help give it to me.

Thank you so much for sharing. I must tell you, that in my work as a speech-pathologist in early intervention, I work with kids in the foster care system, many who are on a path of being reconciled with their parent(s). Since reading this and other blogs, I am now committed to working just as hard to encourage those parents as I work to help their children and foster parents. Thank you. I am encouraged!!!
