"Tell them not to treat foster kids like this.
Tell them not to take kids from their mothers who love them.
Tell them not to treat kids bad just because they have disabilities.
It hurts their feelings."

"A life in the community for everyone"
That is SAMHSA's vision, and the tagline is oft repeated on their site and on their deliverables. "A life in the community for everyone." Sekai wanted a life in the community. He wanted a life at home with his family. The SAMHSA vision is specifically about individuals who have or who are at risk for mental health or substance abuse disorders, but the thought could appropriately be applied to children with other disabilities and children in foster care.
Tomorrow, SAMHSA is holding an Open House to publicly discuss their Strategic Initiatives.
Happy birthday, my darling boy.
