  • This is about private agencies? Foster parent here, yeah the system is fucked up and there’s tons of agencies with their own rules even in liberal Washington state. Each agency has its own agenda on who they’ll license, what they support for the child’s case (adoption, reunification, guardianship), age ranges, orientations, all sorts of things.

    I’ve gone through agencies and through the state directly. I wouldn’t recommend an agency as it basically doubles the amount of meetings and training you’re required to do.

    Honestly, the way Foster parents are treated as Air B&B’s and with zero rights, I don’t recommend anyone become a foster parent. Let the system burn so it might be rebuilt.

    I’ve had many, many cats in my life and always the orange ones are f!cking weird. I went to search why that is but I think the researchers are wrong with the below. I want another one but I’m not sure that I have the energy for it now that I’m older. They’re such goobers.

    “The facts: Does being orange really influence cat behavior? The fact is, at least according to science, there is no such thing as orange cat behavior. “To date, no studies have shown any impact of coat color on personality in cats,” veterinary behaviorist Dr. Mikel Delgado tells The Wildest.”

    Me girlfriend and I were walking along a beach and just had a bug (big) fight. I attempt to calm myself by buying an ice cream cone. I take one bite and a seagull dive bombed my cone while at the same time sitting (shitting) on my shirt. I absolutely lose my shit, rip off my shirt like Hulk Hogan, and go on an explative filled tirade. I’ve never been mader in my life. I totally get what this guy did.
