As my wife and I considered the blessed parenthood option of adoption years ago, we investigated the possibility of foster care. We quickly abandoned that idea after being exposed to the bureaucratic idiocy of it all. Social services agencies seem intent to mess up anything worthwhile. I was reminded of the nightmare foster-care system our governments have created when I read this note from friends who want to be foster parents:
No, it doesn’t make any sense at all. That’s precisely why social services “experts” these things. I’m beginning to think they are required to take a course called “How To Write Stupid Rules.” Filed under: Adoption and Friends and Government Comments:

From a psychological and sociological perspective, the reasoning is probably based on the idea that a stable single-parent home is better than a standard two-parent home where one of the parents might go through something as traumatic as cancer treatments. I’ve never heard of a single mother without a job being a foster parent, though, ever. That seems really odd.
