That I was a foster parent and that my husband and I adopted 3 children isn't a secret to you, dear readers. I heard many terrible stories through training to be a foster parent, and the synopsis from workers as you talk to them about potential placements can be hard to hear. The kernel that started this story for me was the story of a 12 year old boy who escaped through a window, duct tape on his limbs, to a neighbors house for food and water. I think the people that allowed this to happen fall into the bystander effect...not that it excuses anything. You can read here what got me started down the path that became A Life Lived.
