Last night I tweeted this:
"I like it here because when I'm at your house I'm not scared and I feel safe." #reasonswearefosterparents
Nuff said. I also want to give an update on my earlier plea for clothing. A couple very generous Lincolnites stepped up and now are boys are looking sharp. The oldest boy (age 8) actually layered three different shirts on the first day with his new wardrobe because he couldn't decide which of his new clothes he wanted to show off most. Smiles abound. Thank you! If any of the rest of you have clothes for any age child that you would like to donate, please think of the Foster Care Closet. I know one common hold-up is the desire to save clothes to hand down to "somebody I know". That's understandable; I often feel the same way. But whereas you might some day know somebody who might want those boxes of clothes stuffed into your basement, there are lots of kids who could use those clothes right now. And frankly, you probably know some of them and don't even realize it. In other foster care news, DHHS has rechristened Nebraska's child welfare reform as "Families Matter". The new name doesn't appear to have shown up anywhere other than a letter we received last week. I assume it will kick in more in 2011. I'm still having troubles getting over the irony of the name.
