Home.

Muffin has gone home.
I took him there on Tuesday morning, and after meeting the supervisor and seeing the home I feel "okay" with leaving him there. It's not the life I would want to give him, but it's the life I believe he was meant to have.

His parents do love him and should be able to provide for him. His mom told me repeatedly that she'll be calling me. And emailing too... I know I need to stay out of their life and let them be a family. It will be hard to stay away from a child I raised for 8 months, but I hopefully will see him at least once a year around his birthday- since this is one thing his mother had mentioned in the past. I would like that.

We love Muffin and it's strange not having him here, but at the same time, we had forgotten what it was like to not be owned by the state and told what to do and how to do it- Constantly!
We may go back to fostering in the future, but now we are taking a break.
