I recently termed a family with three kids.
One of my current Mom's (great client) told me she knew someone who needed care.
The client's mom used to be a foster mom and the friend was once a child that had lived with them for a while. She later adopted into a great family.
Interview last night.......I opened the door and recognized her straight away! She said "I know you...but not sure where!"
I replied "You used to be in my pre-school class when you were 4 years old!" (I took a break from home daycare and taught pre-school at a center for a few years in the early 90's before my last daughter was born!)
I remember her and her sister both going through my class. Their home life was DREADFUL. They lived right behind the center. Mother was a druggie etc. I often wondered what happened to them. Turns out, she was placed in foster care (my current clients mom!). She was later adopted into a wonderful family.
Her sister wasn't so lucky and headed down the same path as their birth mother. She had a baby, gave it up for adoption. She had another baby.....which has been adopted by her big sister and is the baby I will be watching...and is now pregnant with ANOTHER one
I am sad to see the little blonde angel from my class has made so many wrong turns, but so happy her big sister is stable and happily married with 2 children and on the right track in life.
Hope you followed all that!!
Baby starts today! Second generation in my care!
Talk about a small world!
