the phone call

in my proactive nature, i decided to call our agency to get their help in navigating what had happened during our first interview. i was thinking that they were our advocates and that i was safe. so, the next afternoon, when the girls were down for their naps, i called.

the first gal i talked to was precious. she totally affirmed me, and i really believed that we were going to make it through this hurdle. then she told me that she wanted me to talk to the director just to make sure that what she was telling me was accurate.

that's when i got blind sighted. the director freaked out. he wasn't okay with the decisions we were making. i was stunned. some of the things he said were directly against Scripture. i mean, totally against what the Word of God says. when i confronted him on his inconsistencies, he didn't have much of a response. i was burning bridges, but unwilling to let the truth of God's Word be twisted. i was crying through most of the conversation because i was so caught off guard. here was the man who i thought had our backs, so to speak, totally telling us that we either had to change the way we parented our children, or their agency would no longer be able to work with us. i was stunned. oh, i said that already, but you get the point.

now, we had to choose. we had three options. we could change. we could lie, or we could walk away.
