Over the last hour I have received multiple calls concerning T. In typical "lack of urgency" fashion his worker didn't look for placement until yesterday and today is the end of his two weeks at his current home.

I have also learned more of his behavioral concerns and his needs.

With another family...C and M...I have agreed to transition T to his new placement over the next week. I will work with C and M, from my foster care class, to figure out a schedule where T can be with people he knows while he transitions to his new home so it isn't traumatic for him. He will do visits with the new family, yet to be determined, while basically just sleeping at one of our homes. This is to ease the trauma he is put through in the transition.

The other option the worker had was to either send him to an emergency shelter, but they don't currently have a bed for him. This means he would be going to a psychiatric hospital because they do have a bed for him right now. He doesn't need to be there, but they have a bed.

This system is so broken. Both of my kids have been in this very situation. We want to be a part of his solution. He will not be moving in with us on a permanent basis. We need to just "be" for a while.

Continue to pray for T. Continue to pray for God's will to be done in his situation and that a family would come forward to help him in this transitional time.
