Boxes – most of us are metaphorically put in boxes our whole life. Sometimes we put ourselves in those boxes, other times people put us in boxes. We are often told how to behave, act and think. At our office meeting, I drew boxes on the white board and had people name things that would go into a box. They came up with things like:   Religion, relationships, how to clean, how to dress, speech, work, driving, manners, school, etc.   We then talked about how some people like to be put in a box so that they know exactly what is expected of them. It makes them feel safe. Others don’t like to be put in a box because it makes them feel trapped or doesn’t allow for the creativity they crave. I tend to be someone that doesn’t like to be put in a box. However, if I build my own box, then I am okay being in the box. I feel like these are the best boxes for everyone. We need to know what we want our boxes to look like, and feel like. If we are comfortable in our box, we will thrive.

It starts with a phone call . . . We have a 15 year-old girl who was sexually abused by her mom’s boyfriend while her mom took video of it. We have an 18 month-old little girl who is being released from the hospital but is blind and has brain damage because her dad shook her so hard. We have a newborn boy who is being taken into custody because his older brother was beaten so badly by his dad that he was killed. We have a newborn girl who was born meth addicted and is having severe withdrawal symptoms These are examples of phone calls I have gotten as a foster mom asking if I would be willing to take these children into my home and love them as my own with the understanding that the primary goal is to return them to their parents. I loved each of these children, but I got very angry when I thought of the damage that was done to them at the hands of those that are supposed to protect them. I tried so hard to love the parents also, and to understand the
