I am not a breeder. The choice not to have kids was conscious and deliberate- more than once. But I'd make a pretty good moma and there are so many kids out there who need pretty good moma's so I called DSS, took the requisite MAPP training, and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited.
After 4 months, the call from my social worker came in- we've got a kid, if you're interested. He's 17, from Honduras. His mom sent him here to live with friends but they can't keep him. He's not in school but wants to be.
I'm thinking cool - I have to stop procrastinating on taking Spanish. Honduran kid, huh? Beans. Rice and beans - I wonder how they like 'em prepared .. So I googled Honduran food and found some recipes.
Didn't get the kid. They found another placement for him. I guess they put out calls far and wide for several appropriate homes and they had found another.
