Letters and Notes:
Click here to read all of the letters and notes we have posted. No organization, just us reaching out and talking with our kiddos, their parents, DHS, and the “system” as a whole. All names have been changed.
Letters to Kiddos
All names have been changed, but the content is real. These are letters that we wrote to some of our children, mostly written as a goodbye note, as they left our home. They are raw, full of emotion, but above all, written out of love.
Correspondence to DHS
These are mainly transcripts of e-mails between us and DHS. These provide insights into what it is like to work with DHS. There are e-mails about potential placements, as well as e-mails advocating for our kiddos.
Notes to Bios
A few of the notes we sent with our kiddos on their visits, to try and create a relationship with them, and learn about their child, so that we can care for them better.
Statements in Court
As a foster parent, you are usually offered the opportunity to speak at court. We typically refrain from speaking, aside from providing basic updates on the kiddos. However, sometimes there is a need for us to give a detailed account of our opinions in the best interest of the kiddos.
