Need to vent.
Just had a phone call from a social worker telling me that a letter is in the post about me fostering my children's half siblings. They've refused.
Been through lots of meetings over the past 9 months, visits to my house, visits with the kids etc.
Background:
I left my ex with our kids ten years ago. He met and married new partner 3 years later. She already had a ds and they had a ds together.
He viewed both as his and my kids did the same.
Ex died a year ago. His wife had had mental issues for many years and the kids were removed due to safety issues and put in long term foster care.
My kids were devastated. Not only lost their dad but also can only see siblings every six weeks.
My kids are grown. One at uni and one in armed services.
I own a five bedroom house and would happily welcome them here and so would their mother.
According to the phone call, a new member of the team "thinks it's weird" that I've offered to have them.
I just wanted them to have the same as their siblings.
It's shit.
