This is an issue really close to my heart in several ways. Years ago, when I was still in high school myself, I was running rec centre day camps, and met two sweet girls. in the 5 days of day camp, they were in 3 different foster homes. My heart broke for these girls, and at the end of the week, I invited the older one (12) to come to youth group. <BR/><BR/>I somehow managed to keep in touch with her family (a miracle of God) to this day. She's 18 now, and her 3rd baby is on the way. She now constantly struggles with custody issues, and has childrens' aid breathing down her neck (often for pretty valid reasons). It's such a cycle, and as much as I pray, I feel like I'm hitting a brick wall. <BR/><BR/>If children are not modeled secure, loving families, how do they create one for their own families? They don't know what it looks like!<BR/><BR/>*sigh...* I think I'm where you are with this.Jill Colpittsnoreply@blogger.com
