Oops. I offended a soon to be foster parent.

Okay people. Remember the other day, I did this post about this cute little wanna be foster parent? Well, she's on to me. Yup. She caught me in the act of using her blog as an example of how these system suck-offs take advantage of the gullible.

Apparently, she was a little tweaked out about how I handled it. Oh well. I'm sure enough of the system sucks will run to her rescue and tell her not to listen to me because I'm just a disgruntled parent who goes around the internet picking on foster parent blogs.

But anyway. I left a response. I'm sure she will not post my comments. Therefore I am forced to post them here.

So here's the link.

I do love the title of this post of hers. "Let's Set The Record Straight." So I tried to do just that in the comment that I left on her blog, which you can read below.

Sorry about that sweetie. I am not your enemy, nor was I mocking you. I was simply using you as an example of how they pick on the naive and the gullible in order to carry out their child trafficking operations. I know how manipulative and convincing these people can be, so I realize this may be a little hard for you to understand. But I do what I do because it needs to be done. This has to stop. Foster Care is Child Abuse. That's just the way it is. The way it's set up, the way it's run. It's disgusting. You'll see.

You are not speaking the truth. You are regurgitating that which you learned about in foster parent training. Two totally different things. You are looking at the world through a set of rose colored glasses and failing to acknowledge a whole different side to the issue.

It's a business. Lots of people (service providers such as lawyers, shrinks, foster parents, etc) make money. The public is very much misled on this issue. Families are issued gag orders. People are lied to. Perfectly capable family members are just cut off. I have been befriended by lots of grandparents who were told they could never see their grandkids again. Most of them are more than capable of caring for the kids. There's just no money in that.

So the kids go to foster care, if they're lucky they go back home or get adopted into good families. If they're not, well you're more than free to read my blog and find out. I post to it every day. Believe me, they give me lots to work with.

Oh, and feel free to say whatever you want about me. There's no such thing as bad publicity. Just next time, make sure you add in the link so all of your friends can see what a bad guy I am for fighting for these kids and their families too.

After I hit the Post Comment button, I thought, damn I should have said this, so I left a second comment...

BTW, What's the difference between God and a Social Worker?

God doesn't pretend to be a social worker.

You know, for the first time I honestly feel bad about what I did. It's probably because she's just so cute. I don't know. Usually I'm rather desensitized to this stuff (which is how I stay sane).

Oh well. Life goes on, right?
