So if I were you I would request another case worker...and if they don't accommodate you, take it to the main office and ask to speak to the Director! That's so sad and irritating! I'm so surprised you didn't say anything, I would've kicked him outta my house and shoved his omelet in his face! ughhhh people can really be sooo rude! I'm glad she has you, Tea and Ova showing her love and affection, you guys will truly be blessed :)pwincessdihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291773831875651948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793653087753671290.post-71381292377154114252010-05-03T21:48:35.950-06:002010-05-03T21:48:35.950-06:00That is so terrible!! I know there are some reall...That is so terrible!! I know there are some really good caseworkers out there, but this sure highlights the lack that still clearly exists in the system. <br /><br />I took a class in grad school on attachment theory--most of the other students were DCFS workers getting their master's degree while working for the state--and I was astonished at their lack of sense in basic matters. <br /><br />Like the fact that kids still love their parents, and don't like to hear bad things about them, even if the parents have hurt them. That was a total shock to most. <br /><br />I'm so glad she has you and your family to be positive supports in her life. it sounds like she needs all the loving, sensative people she can get!shaunitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07295202590924014151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793653087753671290.post-29031974979550552352010-05-03T21:18:31.660-06:002010-05-03T21:18:31.660-06:00I can't believe how heartless some people can ...I can't believe how heartless some people can be. Especially case workers who are the ones that are suppose to help people out positively in these cases. I had no idea that you are foster parents. My hat goes off to you for doing that. It is not an easy job I am sure. Someone who has such a huge heart and plenty of room to let them in, and that would be you and Ova. I hope that it will get better. Sounds like Tea is an angel sent straight from Heavenly Father. Could you send another one just like her our way?<br />Love ya!Melissa Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946429080991857977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793653087753671290.post-32247819820006069012010-05-03T21:04:51.918-06:002010-05-03T21:04:51.918-06:00WOW...that is terrible. I always thought about goi...WOW...that is terrible. I always thought about going in to social work...maybe being a counselor, but I would hope that I wouldn't become jaded from the day to day and become like that. I think they underestimated her intelligence and capacity to comprehend what they were saying about her. They felt that they had to be blunt and to the point..not thinking that she would understand if they sugar coated it. That or they just deal with crappy situations all they time and it makes them a little cold. I think it is great that you are taking such good care of her. I think you can totally change her life for the better and no matter where she is later in life she will look back at the time she spent with your family as the first time she really felt loved. What a great gift to give someone.Heather and Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053751192501457256noreply@blogger.com
