And when it comes to our family and children, we might be particularly interested in speeding that process along. Some of these same things can happen to the other person in the process. Or, they may gain greater insights about addiction and commit to being a more supportive person in your recovery. Direct amends refers to going directly to the wronged individual, apologizing and taking whatever action is necessary to correct a situation.

What is making amends in addiction recovery?

Making amends with somebody is a crucial part of your personal growth and of their healing process. Only make amends when you truly understand the situation and when you feel a sincere call for atonement. For, it is with living amends this momentous step that you alone are able to bring peace and closure to shattered relationships. Making amends is the best way to reconnect with the people who have been deeply hurt as a result of your actions.

As outlined in Steps 8 and 9, the practice involves going back to those individuals to acknowledge the harm or hurt we have caused them and demonstrating our changed behaviors in order to provide them with the opportunity to heal. Whenever possible, a direct amend is made face-to-face rather than over the phone or by asking someone else to apologize on your behalf. Living amends, in this event, can include making changes to the behaviors contributing to the falling out between the survivor and the person they owed an apology to. For example, let’s say a mother didn’t make an effort to escort her children to the school bus stop. One of her children is killed crossing the street on their own even after telling their mother that they were afraid to cross the busy street alone. A living amend might include a posthumous promise to the deceased child to, from now on, make it a point to walk their surviving siblings to the bus stop each day.

(vi) Taking action against current or potential caregivers (including foster parents, pre-adoptive parents, adoptive parents, kin caregivers and birth families) because they support or have supported a child’s LGBTQI+ status or identity. For example, in FY 2027 we estimate that up to 30 percent of notified children (Line 4) as a percentage of all newly placed children in that FY may require the availability of a placement that is designated by the agencies as a Designated Placement. This percentage for FY 2027 of 15.0 percent (31,027 ÷ 206,812) is then multiplied by the national estimated foster care recruitment cost budget $204,597,993) resulting in a total of $30,694,652.

Dictionary definitions for the word amends include concepts of recompense, reparation, and compensation. Amends are more than just feeling sorry; but lead us to words and actions that demonstrate true sorrow and remorse for harm caused to another. When you make amends, the way you look and feel about situations changes.

• An alcoholic in recovery first creates the list of individuals they have harmed during step eight and then divides the list into four categories.

When Should You Approach a Person to Make Amends?

Allows a local government, when construction of a model home is completed, to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy if the permit holder, in their request for the certificate, designates certain areas within the model home as a Business Group B occupancy. Requires that model homes designated a Business Group B occupancy meet accessibility requirements; any other areas must be used for display purposes for prospective buyers to view the product and for no other purpose. Requires the temporary certificate of occupancy to be conspicuously posted and maintained at entrances to model home display areas specifying that the display area is only for prospective buyers to view the developer’s product. Requires any person and local governments authorizing the connection of electrical, water, sewer, and related utilities to a model home to connect services upon issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy.

IV. Response to Comments Raising Statutory and Constitutional Concerns

• Those states or entities who opposed the NPRM also argued that it creates a “cumbersome fix” for a problem that lacks clear definition while states are currently having issues finding enough providers for all children in foster care.
• Therefore, we assume agencies will likely need to cover 100 percent of the Designated Placement provision costs on behalf of non-title IV-E eligible children in foster care.
• Tribal title IV-E agencies may claim FFP for title IV-E foster care administrative and training costs for a portion of the administrative costs incurred.
• However, as to the commenter’s concern that the rule violates the right to religious exercise, we reiterate that Federal protections for religious exercise, and the Department’s regulatory protections for seeking religious accommodation, continue to apply.
• Finally, to address some of the concerns that religious providers who decline to become designated as a placement provider for LGBTQI+ children could be deemed unsafe, the final rule uses different and clearer terminology, as outlined earlier in this preamble.
• This final rule refers to those specially designated placements as “Designated Placements.” The requirements of a Designated Placement are consistent with the requirements proposed in the NPRM for specially designated placements for LGBTQI+ children (which the NPRM referred to as “Safe and Appropriate” placements), with some clarifying text added.

If you have committed a crime in the past or are in a situation where you cannot confront the people whom you have offended, there are ways to make amends, indirectly. If you physically assaulted someone or committed theft, a way to indirectly make amends would be to volunteer in a shelter or take part in a program that will directly benefit others who need assistance. Sometimes, people who were involved in a drunken driving accident may take the step to become an organ donor. These are all selfless examples of how making indirect amends can help to heal a situation. For example, if you neglected or mistreated your children while you were using alcohol, a simple apology may not repair the damage. You will need to demonstrate that you are committed to rebuilding trust and repairing your relationship with them.
