Are we one step closer? Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. We were down in San Diego for the week of Thanksgiving, it was nice but with two babies I was ready to come home and get back on a routine. A has taken to waking up about every two hours at night. Finally this week he has gone to getting up only once. But for that week and half that he did that was I tired. We are trying cereal again with him. He hates it. Everytime I would try and give it to him he would scream cry and everything else. Now he doesn't scream so maybe we are making progress. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited. This week I finally met A's bio mom who will be 15 this month. With no family support how is she going to raise this child? I have a feeling deep down if she stays out of trouble she will get him back. I belive our six month review will be sometime in Jan or Feb.
Now for the date that we have been waiting for. Did anything get accomplished? I guess you could say that we are one step closer to getting to adopt M. This was the disposition hearing. Well at this hearing the county moved to terminate services. Meaning no more counseling, parenting classes, rehab and that sort of thing. If she wants to do those things she would have to pay out of her pocket. So this is what you would say is the first move towards adoption and not reunification with bio mom. I am not sure if this was done on the bio dad as well. Dh went to court and he isn't home yet. Now the bio mom is contesting so this brings us to the next court date of Jan.2. I knew this was a process, but really. So basically after any hearing from now on everything will be contested and we will have to wait thirty days to go back to court basically. I understand the need to be fair and the law and everything, but come on. On a side note our county adoption unit is getting hit by lack of funds and the lovely CA budget so I am not sure how that will affect us, thank God we have our homestudy done and are waiting for the final version which we should have had by now, but don't.Once again I am left sitting here wondering what is going to happen. It seems my life will run in thrity day cycles. These two boys are the light of our loves right now. M now recognizes faces and looks for me when I leave the room. He still crawls backwards. Now he does this whole wrinkles his nose and snorts thing. A now has the rolling over thing down and he loves to smile. If we could just get the cereal thing figured out.
We are all decorated for Christmas except for outside lights which we will do this weekend. It seems by the time we get them up we will have to take them down. I am almost done with Christmas shopping except for Dh which I really have no idea what to get him and a few things for the boys. I will update you again when I know more, until then have fun shopping and don't forget to enjoy this time of the year.
Talk to you soon
