As we discussed C's behavior and his escalating pattern of violence and lying, she determined that he needed to be moved to a home without other children for Charlie's and his own safety. As much as Jason and I understand and agree with the decision, it has been a very traumatic few days.
We trust that the caseworker has C's and our best interest at heart -- and that God is ultimately in charge, but the feelings of guilt and failure and fear for his future are undeniable. We are so confused about why God would bring C into our home then pull him out after such a short time. Is it possible that the love and effort our family and the school poured into him over the past few weeks can overcome the traumatic effect of the move on him? My mind says no, but my faith tells me yes.
Our little family has so much love and support surrounding us, and I just have to continue to pray that C's next home will be the best next step towards reunification with his father -- that his next home will be better equipped to deal with his behaviors and needs than we were.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
(Psalm 147:3)
