Still waiting for word
Date Posted: 05-01-2006 at 03:52 PM Comments(0)
Yesterday...or was it a few days ago... I copy and pasted all the back and forth emails I have going with the twins' social worker. I tagged it as private. Confidential info and all that. I want to keep a copy of everything. Not a clue why... That's not true, I know why. I want to be able to look back someday and remember. Hopefully, it will be memory with a happy ending.

My mind's all fuzzy today. I'm moody. This waiting to hear what's happening with the girls is hard!
-Are they really in foster care?
-Is there a court date coming up? When?
-Will they be returned to the home; will there be a plan for reunification; or is the worker going to try for immediate Termination of Parental Rights?
-Will the girls eventally come live with me and their sister? When? How long? Forever?

I spent the morning calling social workers trying to get contact information. I typed up a list of everybody I could think of that has knowlege of the girls' birthparents. Got a pretty hefty list going too.

Can you believe one social worker refused to help? He said that he doesn't have any information on that family anymore. OK, I get that. But when I asked him if he could just talk to the current worker about the effect the neglect had on the kids, he said he wouldn't. This is the social worker that got so emotionally attatched to children number 2 and 3 (K and T), that it became a huge deal. In my opinion, while he was their worker, he allowed his atatchment to negatively effect the choices he made in regards to them. He made such a big deal about missing them and how sad HE was. This was back when he was their adoption case worker. Now however, he doesn't even bother to ask how they are. Oh, he remembered them all right...just couldn't be bothered. J*rk!

Yeah, I know I put a "*" in the place of an "e", and it's not really a bad word. It's not nice to say though....

If I could think straight, I'd continue on with my "story". Uggghhh! Somebody call/email me with new on the twins!!!!!!!!!

This shouldn't consume my thoughts as much as it is!!

If anybody is acutally reading this, please pray for these girls (and my sanity..haha). I'm praying that the judge sees all the evidence and immediatly goes for TPR. And that the girls are moved quickly to a good home where they will stay and be adopted. Of course I want them, but I pray for God's will in that matter. Actually, I pray for God's will over this whole situation, and for His protection of these girls.
