A Cycle of Fostering
The system said: Welcome to Fostering. You’ll make great foster parents.
We said: Thank you. We hope we can do well.
The neighbors said: Aren’t you wonderful people.
We said: Everyone gives back in their own way, this is just ours.
The system said: You are doing a great job.
We said: We are trying for the sake of the children.
The neighbors said: We couldn’t do that, we would be too heartbroken when they would leave.
We said: What makes you seem so uncomfortable?
The neighbors said: Aren’t they lucky children to have you.
We said: We are the lucky ones to have them.
The system said: We know they’re difficult but,
We said: We need help.
The neighbors said: You’re just doing it for the money.
We said: We were doing it before the money.
The system said: We give you enough training.
We said: We need more.
The system said: We know you’re in difficulty but,
We said: We can’t keep them any longer.
The system said: You’re not good enough.
We said: We are the same people we were when we started.
The Focusing teacher said: There is another way.
We said: Focusing does help us to deal.
The Focusing teacher said: Your problems are only part of you.
We said: We enjoy our other parts to help us deal with our problems part.
