October 20, 2002
What a week. All of our company has gone home and I have my house back in order. I always love having company but after they leave I am so tired and then I have to clean up. My nepwhew Ryan who is a sophmore and quaterbacks the varisty team lost on Friday night,so now they are 5 -2. On Monday's both boys have their visits. M's is from 9-11 and it is with both of his bio parents. Well, on Monday only bio mom was there. So that always throws a red flag. One week I had given her a picture and this week she had asked if I had taken anymore and if she could have one. I said I would try to remember. Well, after she accused me of not taking care of her baby one week and then the next week she was thanking me for taking such good care I am not going to do her any favors. She can bring her own camera. A has his visit with his bio mom for one hour. Dh finally saw what she looked like, she is very young only 14!
This week M had court. This hearing was to terminate Paretnal rights on his half brother who I believe is two. Well, it got postponed until this Thursday. The reason was dumb for postoning because it had nothing to do with the half sib. It was postponed because M's bio dad did not have an attorney appointed to him for some reason well that has no bearing on the other becasue different father's. While DH was there the bio mom figured out who DH was because she had never seen him. And something happened at the last hearing and they figured out who gave the SW the info, another long story. Well at the hearing the bio mom's attorney asked for relative placement again with a cousin. Well, this cousin is living with the grandma and the bio mom is also living there. The grandma has already been turned down for placement. The judge asked why this hadn't been looked into I guess they are waiting for fingerprints. Then M's attorney made a uncalled for comment to the bio mom oh this will be taken care of. Hello, that is not your job you are there to represent M and his best interests. Bio mom has been calling all these relatives telling them to try and get him and then she will get him back basically. M seems to be her chosen child for some reason, we are guessing because of the bio dad who knows.Since she has already lost the other three pretty much. So when DH got home we were pretty upset thinking we could lose him and so on. Because the day before the SW told us everything looked good on his case and this SW has been working her tail off. So we finally get ahold of her and told her what happened. She first said that she will be there next Thurs. so there is no miscomunication. She also said that she does not have to place with this cousin he is not fit. Unless the judge does something, which could happen you never know. And third she said that baby is bonded to you guys he is not going anywhere.So now we wait till Thursday again. BTW the bio dad got re arrested so we will see what her attitude is on Monday.So we just have to keep praying and hope for the best. I had their Halloween pics done they are really cute. M was Piglet and A was an elephant. I love pigs and cows.
Survivor I can't wait for Robb to be kicked off. Do any of you watch Trading Spaces I really love that show. Anyways thanks for listening to my saga. I will let you know how things go this week and we will just hope for the best. That is the major draw back with fost/adopt it takes you on a wild ride and you just hope the judge is on your side.
Happy adoption thoughts,
Kim
