It is the goal to reunite families, but most of the kids in the area where I donate will never go home. I have a friend who has adopted 5 foster children, and I feel really good donating to them. I also have friends who deliver the quilts to foster kids at Christmas, so I always know my quilts will be used.
Sorry if it seemed like I was getting onto you. :) That was not my intention.
It seems like here in my area, CPS goes to great lengths to send kids home, even when it isn't in the child's best interest (don't get me started :x ). But that's one of the things about foster care. Things vary so much from state to state and even from county to county depending on who the judge who oversees the cases is.
It does seem like the ones that really shouldn't go back are the ones that do...I am sorry if I was touchy, there are just those days when things hit us harder than others. Not being able to have kids I guess I am kind of touchy sometimes about the quilts I make for kids. Our hearts are in the right place.
