Making a difference...One Starfish at a time
Our family started fostering back in 2005. We have been blessed to love on many babies. There has been many twists and turns throughout our journey and in December of 2010 we were called for placement of a newborn baby boy. His biological mother worked a case plan for 18 months and after 23 months she surrendered her rights and we adopted 'Sprout' in December of 2012. Our faith has been tried and tested and we are still certain that God is faithful!

As I started to get ready for Daisy's visit the phone rang. Surprise! It was CANCELLED AGAIN. The caseworker is not in the least bit shocked. I'm thinking Psycho chick is pregnant. Either that or she's just giving up. Sad, but I have heard it happens. I went out to lunch with some friends yesterday and we were throwing around names for Daisy. Like Smith family names. Nothing seems to fit her. But she surely is NOT a Daisy!!! Suggestions gladly taken!!! More soon...

Once again, Houston...we have a problem... THEY CANCELLED!!! I'm baffled. They are actually within a 1 minute (brisk) walk of where the visit will take place. AND THEY CANCELLED!!! Earlier this week they did come to the Dr's office for a WBV for Daisy. They were both there, Psycho Chick AND bio Dad. Psycho Chick was waiting at the door for me because I was running a few minutes late. She said she thought I wasn't coming. It took EVERYTHING in me NOT to yell at her and explain to her that I'M NOT THE ONE who keeps giving up EVERY opportunity to see Daisy! I digress... Daisy is doing well. Reaching all her developmental milestones and getting funnier every day. Times are changing in our house. I know court is coming up in a few months and we have a HUGE decision to make. It kills me to think of her in someone else's arms forever. But I am trying hard to stick with the plan. Boys. Blue. It's not easy. Especially now that she calls me 'mom'.

The visit last week went well. We met at the library this time (for the 1st time) and Daisy seemed to be MUCH more comfortable there. She was very lethargic when I went to pick her up and slept most of the afternoon. She vomited a bit when she woke from her nap. I started to get really concerned when I realized I didn't ask the caseworker what she had to eat or drink. I put a call in but it's 3 days later and I still haven't heard back from him. I am less worried now that she seems to have a bit of a cold and some congestion (a runny nose). She is doing ok. Our visits still have not increased to 3 hours and I can't say I'm upset. I still don't think that Daisy should be subjected to that. IF I had an chance to state my opinion, I'd say something! IF...
