At the visitation hearing the judge ordered that biomom get visitation rights back. (termination is still set for next month) He also ordered homestudys done on 2 family members. So far there have not been any family members that have been approved to take him but supposedly these 2 family members didn't know he was in the system and just found out ( really? 1. they are lying 2. they are not very connected to the family so why are we making a big deal about placing him with kid?)
We started visits last we and just like 7 months ago he screamed the entire time.
To top it off he has a new GAL who is very determined that he go to kin.
So we now think it is time to contact a lawyer someone needs to look at his best interest and we don't believe the state is doing that. How can taking him away from the family he knows, loves and feels safe with and placing him with total strangers just because they share the same blood is better? causing a child to perhaps deal with attachment issues their entire life is better?
We were very clear with the caseworker about our intentions and our feelings. I am not sure if she respected us or think we are now out to make her job harder but either way I think we will now have a fight on our hands, if not from her then defiantly from the GAL and the state.
We are praying for wisdom and that God show us how and when we should fit for this little one he put in our house. We believe he is here for a reason and that it is our responsibility to fight for him until God shows us otherwise.
