Note From Birthmom

The caseworker hauled Zephan, kicking and screaming, out of his house and to his weekly visit with his birthmom. When he came home a few minutes ago, this note was in his diaper bag:
"Thank you for caring for him when I couldn't. Thank you for stepping up to be his mother. I'm grateful to you and your husband. I know that he'll be guided and loved, no matter what. I love you guys because you love JJ."

I'm speechless.

Wow. I've received those kinds of notes and it made me sit and sob like a baby. It makes very, very difficult times worth it. Maybe I should post those kinds of things on my desktop when I am emailing CPS. LOL Blessings to you1

Awesome! Much nicer than the ones I got that just said I was a "Hotel for her son."

Who BTW is now adopted by me. I guess I was the InnKEEPER!
