Spoke at DSS

This past week I spoke again at a DSS meeting for prospective foster parents. It was a great experience for me because another foster mom was there with her 2 kids and she had been at the last meeting I spoke at. She told me how she used things I said in her own life with the kids, which was great to hear, like I made even a little bit of a difference.

But, one thing that got me was a woman assumed JJ was a foster child and she said she had hoped he was open for adoption. Yes, he's a cutie, I'll admit it, but it was a sad moment to me. It's bad enough people in the community assume the kids are all mine biologically, or all not. But when someone who has biological children of their own make a broad based assumption, makes me wonder their own motives.

And hey, it struck me because we Johnsons all think he looks like us ;)
