Since becoming a Foster Parent back in May of 2023 (we were also “Kinship Caregivers” for the Grandson back in 2015), we’ve been through a bunch of stuff.

If you want an example of dragging something out, you’d do well to consider the case of former NH State Senator Jeff Woodburn. Back in 2018, the North Country Democrat had a future.
