Abuela is just THRILLED about little Gabriel coming to live with here. Of course, the $400 a month checks from the State of Oregon has NOTHING to do with it. (sarc)
I think you are being way too harsh on the grandmother. None of this is her doing- the State screwed up by not finding her in a timely manner. Did you miss this part of the story “ But Snyder said Martinez hasn’t asked for the money.” By the way the foster parents are also entitled to that money and may very well have accepted it to help meet the higher costs of caring for a special needs child. Does this mean they only foster for the money? I would say not.
