The last two days have been very interesting. Danny and I completed 16 hours of training for Foster Care and Adoption. We met other couples who are starting their foster care journey and some who already have placements and have adopted. We learned many new things. I can't say how much I appreciated Danny's good spirits about sitting in a small conference room for 16 hours.
I think the biggest thing I learned is that we should never judge the person next to us. Everyone has their own story. We really have no idea what a child or person has been threw until they tell us.
Another thing I learned, that stuck out to me in this training was that no matter how badly we want to help every single child out there we just can't. We have to know that we can't fix them all. We need to just hope for the best and remember helping even one child is better than not helping any.
