@Kellye0 had to say.. I would still be in the system now.. if i were not disabled.. I have the love but unfornutaely because I can not walk far or drive.. my love and attention is not enough for me to be a foster mom any more.. even though my husband can do all those things I physically can't... I even wanted to help the children who are aging out..and they refused to let me invite them into my family after they are aged out because of their privacy laws...we all need family!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL

As a former foster parent and now an adoptive mom of one of the many children that came to me, Wished I could have adopted them all.... but dealing with the children were a blessing, and each of them changed my life... I loved just loving on them and receiving their blessed love... there is no love greater.. none, and to watch this video it breaks my heart.. I hated the Mississippi social workers.. they were very neglectful to all the children in their care...Praying deeply

@Strangevon I shared this video and website (beonetoo.org) with my foster care and adoption classmates and teachers today - they were really excited about checking this out and what a wonderful way to come back home from my last "class" session to your kind reply! Nice to meet you on youtube btw! My husband and I only have First Aid/CPR certification and TB shots left (which we do all next Sat) and then the home study!

[Strangevon]

@jsweet83 thanks, I am one of the ppl in the vid, and what u just said was well put, I wish there were ppl around like urself back then... it's time someone stands up and takes action

[Strangevon]

@coffeetalkwc hey thanks alot, I am one of the ppl in the video above, and don't let the questions stray u away from what u want to do for the children in need

Next time someone asks me well why in the world would you want to become a foster care and adoptive parent - are you sure you are raedy for that type of challenge - I will continue to tell them as an adoptee myself "Yes! "I AM ONE" ready to step up and be there for these children!"

[jsweet83]

just to watch that is so heartbreaking and is example why you should adopt a child from the us rather than another country.
