Criticism

I try not to judge people, but i think at some point, we all have judged. Most of the time it is a prejudgement before we have walked their mile. We are a foster family and we don't always know alot about the kids situation. Recently we took in a teenager and her two sons. I knew she had been taken out of her home, but I didn't know why. The fact that she had two kids was an autoatic surprise. I didn't want to make any assumptions about her, but everyone was saying she must be trouble. Not knowing her home life or situation, there was no way I could judge her and if she was going to be staying with us then I needed to be open. I'm glad that I stayed open and got to know her. I would consider us really close. And I hate the weekends when she doesn't come over. She has been to so many of our family functions, including 2 Christmas parties. I love her boys like they are my little brothers. It goes to show, you can't judge someone until you really know them.
