100 waiting children

DYSF= Division of Youth and Family Services (like CPS in CA)

Hello Jessica. We would like to come visit your home on Thursday. (DYFS)
I have 2 doctor appointments that day, Wednesday would be better, I only have to pick up a child's glasses (me)
Okay, and also. We would like to move the foster child in your home out in the beginning of May (DYFS)
Why would you want to do that when it was agreed that he would finish the school year? (me)
He is now labeled medically fragile and so we need him in a home that can properly care for him (DYFS)
I am certified for a medically fragile child, I took the classes in June. (me)
Well, your home was not converted, so we need to move him (DYFS)

And why does the State have a website dedicated to the heart gallery, a list of 100 waiting children to be adopted because they have been in foster care all their lives. Is the foster care system working?? What needs to be done? I post my idea's next blog. Meantime, look at the 100 waiting children focused on this month.
