Perhaps the shrinks should consider chronic gullibility for the DSM-V? Oh, wait if they solved that problem they wouldn't get any more business. Never mind. It will never happen.
I mean, people are free to believe whatever they want, but to take the lies of the foster parent brainwashing, I mean training word for word and so clearly regurgitate said training on a blog and spreading the same lies in the process, believing everything that the nice social worker tells you, and to so blindly think that such a decision will lead to the good old "happily ever after" fairy-tale ending, and guarantee your spot in Heaven for doing so, based on little or no prior experience whatsoever with the same realities that have so many times come crashing down on those who have gone before her like the fire and brimstones of Sodom and Gomarrah...
Sorry, I'm babbling.
It just makes me sick to my stomach that after all the work that so many of us who fight for the rights of families has done, that there is still so much ignorance in the world.
Ok, so what set me off? Well I, admittedly for the first time, just came across the blog of a foster parent who has made the decision to adopt. Oh and BTW, "the Lord has hand picked a foster child/children before the dawn of time to be a part of her family."
Well, I hate to tell you this sweetie, (and she is really cute too) but it ain't the Lord who would be giving you this child/children. Oh, they're really good at playing God, but that's not who it is.
And to all of my dearly beloved readers. Please make sure you're sitting down, and holding on to your lunch before clicking on this link. You have been warned.

PS: To all the foster parents out there considering adoption. Please have some consideration and empathy for the pain and suffering of the real parents whose children have been snatched away, the grandparents who haven't ever had the chance, the siblings who have been separated, and all other family members and the children who have lost all they know and love while celebrating your adoptions of our children.
And above all, don't believe everything that the nice social worker told you.
Peace Love and Flowers

Update: This person removed the post that I originally linked to. Can't take the heat I guess. No worries though, the profile in the side bar still gives you a glimpse into her thought process. And her words remained in my Google Reader.
I went to look after a comment was left here by my Buddy Leonard that he figured would be removed.

Here's what was said...
I am so excited to (formally) announce that our family will be adopting again!!!! I am beyond thrilled that I seriously think my heart may just explode. Today marked our first official home study visit with our social worker. Because we are already a licensed foster family though we don't have to go through the entire home study process again--which is GREAT. We met earlier today in order to organize our paper work and make any necessary updates and changes needed. Our adoptive home study should be completed and approved in the next few weeks!!!
The Lord has made it abundantly clear that this time we are called to adopt a waiting child from the foster care system. Currently, nearly 500,000 children and youth are in the United States foster care system. Of those kids in foster care, between 120,000 and 130,000 are considered legal orphans and are awaiting adoption into a permanent family. These statistics literally BREAK MY HEART!!!! I can't stand it! I hate thinking about boys and girls going to bed every night wondering IF they will ever have a permanent home--wondering if they will ever have a mommy and daddy to call their own. I hate thinking about the thousands of teenagers that will all too soon age out of the system and then WHAT. Where will they go for Thanksgiving or Christmas year after year when they have no family to call their own? Thinking about this literally makes my stomach hurt!!!!
Our family cannot wait to meet the child/children that the Lord has hand-picked to join our family. Knowing that they are out there right now makes me VERY excited BUT extremely anxious as well. We have no idea what they are going through, or what they may have to endure before we can get to them. We are praying that the Lord would intervene on their behalf. That He would protect them physically and emotionally. We are praying that the Lord would hold them tightly in the palm of His almighty hand and fill their hearts with peace! We covet your prayers too as our family walks this exciting journey and begins another chapter in our lives! We can't wait to write the post introducing you to the newest *****!!!!

FYI: I'm sorry I had to resort to this but words like these can no longer go unread. I simply want you all to understand how these people think. Your life sucks because you lost your kids and fight for them while people like this are loving life while aiding and abetting state.
You know though, I'm not saying this is a bad person. She's probably a great mother to her own kids. That's not the point. I'm just sick and tired of all of these celebrations around the loss of other peoples children to the benefit of others, it's a trend I'm noticing more and more. I've talked to too many parents over the years, I've felt all of your pain. I've read your stories.
You come out smelling like shit, and people like this come out smelling like roses. It's time things change. If the Child Protective Industry and the Foster Care System can't teach a bit of empathy for those who have lost, then I will.
Just in case they remove my comment there, here's what I said-

There are plenty of followers of Jesus Christ who have had their children WRONGLY removed from their families by LIES, PERJURY, FABRICATION OF EVIDENCE, and EXCLUSION of exculpatory evidence by CPS agents who ARE sociopaths and agents of SATAN.
There are plenty of grandparents and other family kin who have been wrongly denied custody for absurd reasons.
Jesus is NOT in charge of CPS, and GOD has NOT pre-ordained for these kidnapped children to be yours.
As a sincere, dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, I find the spin you are putting on receiving stolen children quite sickening.
The families of these kidnapped children are grieving just the same as if the child had died.

I have just rechecked to see if I got any replies, and that blog has now DISAPPEARED.
ReplyDeleteOh well...
I don't believe the adoptive parent(s) in most cases think much about the parents whose rights have been terminated. They have been brainwashed into believing only the worst of the worst parents have their rights terminated and that the state has "saved" those children from great harm.
ReplyDeleteOnce the parents' rights have been terminated the adoptive parnets think they are offering to "save" the children once again from the worst parent in the world, the friggin' state!
One grandparent I came to know became a foster parent because her own grand child had been removed from her daughter and while in a foster home was killed. She was this lady's only grandchild.
Of course, this woman was too wise and kind to be allowed to keep her license. She believed her job as a temporary care giver waiting for the day the children could be happily re-united with their mom and family--which is what ALL foster parents should beleive and help to make happen if possible.
Of course, the state doesn't want people who believe in re-unification. They want people who may have a hole in their own lives that the state hopes can be filled by adopting someone elses children--that way the state makes more money.
If someone ever adds up the carnage and victimization by the state through CPS they should also add foster parents who have been used by the state simply to gain more funds from the Federal government. Because, the day usually comes when most adoptive parents realize their adopted children are nothing like them at all--just like Marie Osmond they may realize they didn't save the child they raised, but condemned him or her to living as a mis-fit, confused,lacking self-esteem and personal identity. Money doesn't make these children feel complete or help them re-gain what they are mising.
Over time I have come to believe that God places children exactly where they need to be to gain the strengths they need, to over come the weaknesses they may have all for His purposes. And, I am torn as to whether even in the worst cases children should be removed.
It seems to me it would be cheaper for the state to hire professional "family sitters" to move in with a troubled family to ensure the health and safety of the children rather than remove them from the home.
Even if the state didn't provide services the children could still maintain their familiy connection and be safe. And, if the state would actually use the Federal funds they get to help the troubled family the children would benefit directly as a part of the "whole" that is their family.
But, then again the state, through CPS, isn't interested in doing what is best for the children (regardless of their clap trap). Most CPS workers are only interested in keeping their jobs and most administrators are only intersted in showing the legislature how much estra money their agency brought into the state coffers. So much for "saving the children."
