My question is, how does the person imobilized by mistrust get over the feelings of fear and angry panic, especially when "change" means "more of the same"?

This just goes to show that foster care needs reform worldwide, not just north america. Just because CPS is desperate for people to "care" for the children does not mean they should accept anyone who applies...
