They Don’t Want To Be Here

On a Friday evening, two children were welcomed into our home. It was their very first night away from their mother.

The younger boy, just 5 years old, wailed as the caseworker guided him through our front door. For the next 90 minutes, he voiced his distress over and over: “I don’t want to be here. I want to be with my mommy.” His 7-year-old brother stood beside him, tears silently streaming down his face, reflecting the same sorrow.

In an effort to soothe them, the caseworker called their mother on speakerphone, but it had little effect. Tissues accumulated on the floor as they dabbed their tear-streaked faces. There was no magical solution or distraction that could ease their cries; eventually, the caseworker left, knowing full well that the little one wouldn’t settle down until she was gone.

We tried to lighten the mood with a movie and some ice cream, but the half-empty bowls were a testament to our futile attempt. Gradually, the volume of their cries decreased, and we settled in the living room together. The familiar hum of the television offered a sense of comfort they desperately needed.

Throughout the night, both boys stirred from sleep and gently tapped my husband’s shoulder, bewildered by their unfamiliar surroundings. The next day was filled with fun—jumping on a trampoline, shooting hoops, and visiting parks. However, a sudden reminder shattered the peace: the younger boy recalled that he wouldn’t be going home that night and had no idea when he would return. The screams erupted again: “I don’t want to be here. I want to be with my mommy.”

A little boy longs for his mother, yearning for answers about when he will see her again and when he can return home. Unfortunately, in the world of foster care, answers are seldom provided. Our sympathetic gestures and bowls of ice cream could not fill the void for either party involved.
