Due to Doc's moms allegations and the fighting between Dos and Sprout, we requested she be moved to another foster home. She left last Friday. She is now back in a foster home with Jaden. Praying for that family and for Doc. Doc's mom took another jab at us last week and said that because Doc complained she was hungry and didn't have dinner (during one of their nightly phone calls) bio mom called on call. Doc had been in respite for the weekend and came home to us (at 6pm) having already eaten dinner. (I have the text from foster mom saying she fed her). When we got home Doc only asked for ice. She wasn't 'hungry' until her mom asked her what she ate for dinner. Well, the agency worker called the respite mom and asked her a bunch of questions about what, how much and when she fed Doc...as if I were lying. It really bothers me that my word is not enough. They all know that bio mom suffers from mental illness. This agency worker has been with me for 2 years...she was Baby Love's worker and Smiley's worker. She claims that I am one of her favorite homes. I am just so sad that it had to come to this. Doc is adjusting to living with her brother again and it seems like this foster home is a better fit for her. We are back to a quiet house with less fighting too. Part of me felt like I broke my cardinal sin of fostering....never take a child older than your youngest.
Well, we learned. It will never happen again.
