We gave up the placement of three babies (ages 2, 3, and 4 months) because of violence and the fact that we simply couldn't handle that level of neediness. <br /><br />We cannot do everything. We cannot help every child. We cannot solve every issue. <br /><br />We do what we can. And when we can't do more but they still need more, we have to let go. You are a good mom. You are a good wife. You are a great foster mom for recognizing the limits for your family.

I can see how difficult the past couple of months have been, and how hard you tried, and how hard it still was to make the choice you did. I can only begin to imagine what you must be going through right now, and even that little bit breaks my heart for you. I hope you are able to find some rest and comfort, and balm for your soul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391148493629545748.post-25802691010399426232015-02-23T16:13:20.263-10:002015-02-23T16:13:20.263-10:00Oh sister!

I'm sure you don't feel like an angel right now, and I'm sure you don't do what you do so people will call you an angel, but you give so much of yourself to take care of the sweet babies who need you. I am sure you hear it more than you ever wanted to, but I don't know how you give that much of yourself. I don't think that I could, and I admire the people who can. Don't spend too much time beating yourself up. Good for you - for trying, for sticking it out, and for recognizing it wasn't working. Much love to you!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547309244340404627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391148493629545748.post-35129280109931299052015-02-23T15:37:16.291-10:002015-02-23T15:37:16.291-10:00As someone who grew up in a home with a sibling wh...As someone who grew up in a home with a sibling who was often violent, I want to thank you for protecting your own children. Thank you for making a choice that many people don't have the option to make. - RSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
