I have to say that our world is a sad place.
Most of my posts ends up being mostly about Carly but that's all that is really going on in my life.
How can a service that is set up to protect our children be so harmful on them instead. How is it possible that Child and Family Services can forget about the child we are trying to protect. I am blown away that I can call our Social Worker and I know more information about the case than she does.
I have had visitations cancelled and rescheduled and cancelled and rescheduled all at the convience of the mother of the child who she abandoned in the first place. As far as I am concerned if it was my child that had been taken away and I really truly wanted to get her back I would be bending over backwards to do anything I could to see her whenever I could.
When did the system turn from helping the child in need to helping the parent in question. I realise that they need help the mother too but shouldn't priority # 1 be the 5 month old child who never asked to be brought into this world but was and now is placed smack dab in the middle of a really really shitty situation. (Sorry for the curse but shitty is the only way to describe this situation.)
How can we forget her? Who is the voice for this child.
I am sick to death watching Carly go to visitation after visitation coming home a wreck. She does not eat, sleep, smile or laugh. (If you have met her she is the happiest most content kid in the world otherwise) She sits and stares like a zombie for hours afterwords. She is so confused that she is making herself physically ill.
Where does it all end for her? I can't even begin to imagine what she must feel inside. I know she is only 5 months but I feel like she has more life experience than me.
The REALLY sad part about this is this in only one of thousands of kids who do this everyday and a lot of them know exactly what is going on.
How many times do we need to watch on the news about another case of child abuse or child neglect before our Government will step in and do something about this. My heart breaks for all the innocent children who get dealt a crappy hand at life. How many of them get lost in the shuffle?
God sure has put my faith to the test with this one. There really is nothing that we can do but pray. I pray all day everyday that God will give this little beauty a place where she can finally relax and be herself. I wish I could take this all away from her.
My Heart Hurts for Carly.......what more can we do without Shawn and I looking like the bad guys......
At the end of the day though, I have been blessed more than I could have ever imagined by this little child when she smiles I get a glipse of what heaven will be like
