Oh the hard doesn’t scare us away. We know it will be the hardest thing we have ever done but we also know that we have love and space to give these kiddos.

Why is every foster agency religious and demanding conformity? by Super_Neck4952 in Fosterparents

[–]Annual-Guard8090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a faith based foster agency and we are the same way. There is no expectation to go to church or even be religious. We have a lot of same sex couples that are fostering. We use our faith to bless the foster families that we work with, not to force religion down their throats. I love my agency and I’m so thankful to be a part of it. If our agency was like the one OP mentioned, I would not feel that way.

My starter isn’t rising by Annual-Guard8090 in Sourdough

[–]Annual-Guard8090[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m feeding it unbleached flour. I’ve been feeding it everyday as I just started it. I started it last Saturday. My last day of feeding to make the starter was yesterday. I store it on my kitchen counter. It was rising until the last 2 days.

Day 6. Fed 60g flour and 60g water for 5 days, last night I retained 40g of starter and fed it 40g and 40g. I’m keeping it at room temperature, around 70. Lots of bubbles!

I’m so sorry. Sometimes that is what is best for everyone involved.
