Good luck, Angie.

That's cool. I never thought of it that way. Maybe it's a good sign.


Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I had a really great first day. I mostly spent the day reading case files to get caught up for all the court sessions I'm scheduled for this week. I've heard the judges can be really mean if you don't know EVERY single detail. Tomorrow I have a TPR case (trying to terminate parental custody so the client can be adopted by the foster parents) and then a Foster Care Review Board meeting for a different set of clients. I get to meet some of the kids for the first time tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it.

Some of the cases were hard to read. You guys wouldn't believe what some of these kids have been through. It breaks my heart.
