We were schedule to have a review hearing on Friday, Feb. 24 at 9:30. We got a call late afternoon Thursday that the hearing had been postponed, due to the parents and/or therapists not getting everything done they were supposed to. And then Friday afternoon I got a letter from the social worker that indicated the next hearing is April 3 at 10:30. YIKES! It's good news and bad news - good that we get to keep Little Guy longer, and love on him and cuddle him and pray over him - but bad that we won't know until April what the next steps will be. We just would like to know whether he is going to go home to parents or stay with us. Oh well, I guess this is the roller coaster journey that they warned us about. It has officially started!
More news - since Little Guy has now been in Foster Care for over a month, and will continue that way for a while, he gets a new social worker. He goes from a short-term worker to a long-term worker. I don't know if that's good or bad - so far his short-term worker has been wonderful. We meet the new SW on Tuesday afternoon - just us, the old SW and the new SW - no bio parents - so we can discuss Little Guy's case and find out what might be in store for us.
We also have our first Foster Parent Evening Support Group meeting on Tuesday night. I've been attending the once a month day time meetings, but my husband has really been wanting to attend one and can't because of work. So they have finally put together an evening one. It will be nice for him to be a part of it. Although I am the stay at home Foster Mom, he is really involved in Little Guy's care - he takes over feedings and such in the alte afternoon when he gets home (around 3:30) so that I can rest or do my things for a while. He and Little Guy love to hang out and cuddle in the Lazy Boy!
Gotta run for now - Little Guy is at a parent visit, and I need to leave now to go pick him up.
