Today, Virlena and I had more upsetting news. As many of you know we are in the process of getting licsensed to do Foster Care. We can't get licsensed through the State because I work for the department and I know the liscensing workers. There are a few private agencies in the area and a few workers were recommended to me, at these agencies. I ended up calling one that has "Catholic" in the title. We were sort of leary about contacting them because we all know how the Catholics feel about the gays. After talking to them, both Virlena and I were informed that it should not be a problem that we are gay. We were told this many times, throughout the whole process. Our worker called and told Virlena that the Lansing Diocese rejected our application because we are gay. (Our application wasn't even complete so I am not sure who it even got submitted to them in the first place.) We were never told at the orientation or at any home visit that we would have to get approved through the Lansing Diocese before our application was submitted to the State for approval. We were just lucky enough to be the ones to get denied.

people are strange.
and frustrating.
and they suck sometimes.
when they do suck, they suck in the grandest way possible.
