My other life

So… I’ve noticed the trend on people’s blog whereas people who read them think that what we write in our adoption world is all that we are. And I think about the perceptions that are made about what I have written. Which I can of course only guess at.

I wanted to let you all know some good news in my life for which I am very excited about. I work part time as a counselor which I love. And, I finally secured a job in which I’ve been trying to get for over a year. It is working with foster youth.

My long term goal is to work with foster young adults after they come out of the institutions. Maybe ages 18-25. I know that there are few supports available to them, with having lost their families, and relied on paid professionals to care for them. I want to create a co-op house with other foster ya’s and non foster ya’s so that there will be a diverse group who can support each other and learn from each other. I’d fashion it after L’arche which has greatly affected me.
