we’re not certifiable??

for the first time in a really long time i have been faced with homophobia. in my own home. we're one class and 2 home visits away from being certified foster parents. we've been doing this since september 2007. yesterday we had our first of the 2 home visists and learned because we aren't "just roommates" we may not actually be approved. i hate living in this state.

needless to say my heart is broken all over again. for too many reasons to even list. they are still going to try to certify us, so we can perhaps foster from other counties that allow glbt couples to do so. they just can't guarentee that our county will ever place a child with us. so really, what's the point of that?

we will keep plugging along, in hope some other locality will utilize us. and we will be licking our wounds and i'll be figuring out if perhaps this is the universe asking me to strap back on my activist boots and get out there and get vocal.
