OT be like please care for these three babies 24/7, raise and love them like they are your own etc and then after u do most of the work to have the bubbas returned to ma and pa, so u all good with seeing them for 12 hours every few weeks?

I’ve been a caregiver for three of our whanau’s bubbas for two years. They return home in four weeks. Amazing, it’s the goal. Put children back with their parents, but my hearts breaking and there is very little help out there to navigate this type of grief.

Revealing the stunning new cover for KATARAINA by Becky Manawatu!⁠ 🌕

Unflinching in its portrayal of the darkness and tender in its harnessing of the hope that future generations represent.
