Our Story

Once upon a time I was mom to a beautiful baby boy. In my heart I am still his mom. I still worry if he is eating well or warm enough but I can't fix it if he is not. I pray for him every night but can no longer tuck him in and kiss his little head. So far this fairy tale has no happy ending. I pray that one day it will but for now my heart is to broken to see how it can. This is the past story and the continuing story of the joys and sadness we have experienced and continue to experience as we pursue adoption through foster care

Mom asked that I attend a review meeting the end of the month. I have never attended one of these in person, I always just call in for the 10min they need me to give an update. I think she has ulterior motives. I think she thinks that I will bring baby and she will be able to convince GAL and CW that the 2 months she's been clean and the 5 visits she has had are enough and she should be able to take baby home that day. 
Last time I talked to GAL she said to expect to have him another 6 months. I'm not sure how to do this for another 6 months baby is getting so attached and at almost 11 months is developing a personality and becoming such a part of our family. Not just our 'little' family of 6 but also our extended 'family' of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, church people and anyone else he comes in contact with on a regular basis. It breaks my heart to think that if when he goes back to bio-mom  he looses all of that love.
