I have a friend who is a nice foster parent. She is single, smart, has a pretty good job that is flexible in hours, owns her own home, and will not have children of her own. She is kindhearted, calm, and steady, has more than enough space in her home, and wants to make a difference in a child's life. Her foster daughter came to live with her at age 11 and is now 16. She is able to be a good role model for the girl, they get along well, and they both get a significant other person in their lives. There have been a lot of challenges, the girl has been in counseling, but it has worked out for them.

Kiya, what lady? The person from CPS who yelled at you? She's saying you ruined the lives of the family because you didn't call CPS soon enough? Don't they have some sort of anonymous way to report so the CPS people can't call others in your life like that and try to wreck your job and so on? That just seems completely out of line, and I would think grounds for being fired. I'm sorry that happened to you. Hopefully, your boss listened to your side of the story and didn't pay any attention to the CPS worker.
