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!

Frustrated as anything!! Peanut's agency worker called me to tell me how court went. 
Peanut's dad consented to the neglect charge BUT nothing with happen to him because Peanut is being sent down south to be with his Great Aunt and twin brother.  Peanut came to us in December with fractured ribs, bruises and cuts.  He was 4 months old and 9 pounds.  NOTHING.  I don't even know if he realizes he probably won't see his son(s) again.  To top it all off...he has a newborn baby girl now.  CP$ is involved but only to make sure he is not left alone with his daughter.  His girlfriend and the baby moved out so CP$ didn't take the baby.  If they find out that they are living together...the baby will be removed. 

Now we wait for the !CPC to go through. 
*Peanut was weighed last week and was 15 lbs and 27.5 in long.*

6 days till court for Sprout.  Bio mom made BOTH visits (so far) this week.
