Saturday will mark the 2nd week of Jack officially being in my house.
By the end of last week, I was close to cancelling the whole thing and ask for him to be transferred. It was really tough. I was exhausted, her wasn't being obedient, and I was stressed. Now, things have improved a bit more and I feel like it is doable although it is not easy.
In training, we hear about the toughest cases... and some of the moments with Jack make me realize the difficulties I'll continue to have. I don't know if he will be adopted. I don't know if he will be returned. I HATE that feeling of not knowing. I don't know if after all this hard work that he'll return to his family and just regress back to his previous behaviors. I don't know if he'll return and then have to go back into care if the mom goes nuts again.
There is a lot of uncertainty with foster care, that is for sure.
