The official word came today.

The state is renewing my foster care license.  We are waiting to hear if we have to redo all of the paperwork.

There are conditions.   Middle Boy has to finish his therapeutic program and then Therapist L has to write a letter saying he successfully completed it.

Of course they cited not the program he is in, but instead one that doesn't even exist in the state any longer.  (Why not?)

I should be happy or excited or something.  Instead I feel just blah...whatever.

My agency is BEYOND thrilled, because they never win battles with the state.

Father...your will be done with this very broken system.  If you want me to have a role, please open the appropriate doors and show me the way.
