Foster care can have it's moments of being frustrating and I'm having one of those days.
Joey recently had a doctors appointment. I love the doctor we take Emma to, they are amazing when it comes to the foster care situation. Of course Joey goes to a different doctor... Needless to say I got tired of saying, "he's in foster care".
When I called to make the appointment I told them he was in foster care, they didn't seem to care. When I checked in they stated asking their usual patient questions and I had to remind her, he's in foster care. The nurse called us back, then started asking family medical history questions, he's in foster care, I'm not his mom! So she asked me my husband and I's history and put that on his file! Really?! I get if he was adopted and we didn't know the birth parents info, but putting in the foster parents info? I'm sure it will greatly impact his life that the foster mom he had for 3 weeks of his life was 5 feet tall! Things weren't a whole lot better with the doctor either.
We've been totally out of the loop on Joey's case too, which is the most frustrating! We happened to drive by the courthouse and see Joey's parents there. Apparently they had court and no one notified us before or after. When I asked for Joey's "home to home binder" the caseworker told me he didn't know when I'd get it. I asked how much warning I'll get when he's being moved, none. Sweet, so do I have his stuff packed and ready to go today, tomorrow, or next week? Sigh, I remind myself that it's not always this bad. And I still love foster care, I really do.?
