Both of her oldest children also revealed to her that ex and Vanessa will be getting another foster child soon, and her kids don’t want to continue living there if that’s the case.
Her children even tried to talk to their dad about how they feel, without getting anywhere. So, she decided to speak to her ex and Vanessa about this.
“They kept saying that this is the reality of foster care, that it hurts them too, but they feel they’re at least offering a loving and safe home to these kids,” she said.
She did ask if they could wait to foster more children until the oldest of their own children go to college, but they refused.
“I ultimately said what the kids did: if they continued to foster, our elder kids would choose to not come around as much and I’d support them in court,” she continued.
“If our youngest wanted to keep up the custody agreement, that’s fine, but I’d keep them in therapy.”
“My ex called me and said Vanessa has been sobbing all weekend after my “threat”. He says it’s not fair to ask this of them and make them decide. I told him it’s up to him to decide what he could live with.”
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“This is tough, but the reality is the whole family needs to be on board with every placement that enters the home.”
“Some folks are saying that these kids agreed to foster so shouldn’t back out..but the reality is that most adults who foster quit after a year or so.”
“It is tough on your heart and mind, and you can be glad you did it but also need a good long break or to just be done.”
