We really have no idea what to do....we feel like we are just merely existing these days. We saw Tori yesterday. I had found it easier to just avoid "her" as in thinking, talking, most of all seeing...but yesterday, once she ran up to me and threw her arms around me, I was overcome with how much I miss her!!
This stinks!!
I know the girls are having a real hard time with this. I'm not sure how to help them yet. This has to be so confusing. First her leaving, then hammy (cameron) leaving, I have reassured them they are NOT leaving....but how do I know how much they understand??
Again...this stinks!!

I don't know all the details yet of what you've been going through, but I know from my situation, it did hurt, a lot. My kids were upset and didn't understand. they were younger than yours at the time, so my oldest especially was just angry at me. However, we DID get through it AND God has brought our existing family closer to eachother than we were then. My kids are now 11, 8, 4, and 1. My older two now understand when we talk about it and are not resentful or angry. They know how much we love them and that what happened was not our faults and they are secure in their place in the family. It would probably be much more disturbing if they were unaffected by a mahor change in the family. Praise God! Your children do not suffer from attachment disorder!! If I can take one thing away from the time we spent as foster parents its this: Normalcy is a gift. The family as God designed is a gift, much unappreciated by our society, but needs to be protected and treasured as just that. You will get through this. Depend on the Lord to listen and understand, not Social Services, they won't. However, God will use this, even though it is probably NOT his plan.
Call me.
