Maybe this is what's next?
And once you heal, you might find yourselves volunteering to work with children. Something you might consider doing is becoming a CASA (court-appointed special advocate). There are plenty of good kids out there who have messed up parents and who need someone in their corner once they’ve been placed in out-of home care. Someone to listen to them, find cool stuff for them to do and to fight for what they need. I have worked in foster care and only a tiny fraction of the kids who need a CASA where I live (in the San Francisco Bay Area) have one. If it takes a village to raise a child then maybe your old dream had you living in the parent part of the village and maybe your next dream has you living in the CASA part. It’s rewarding over there too...
