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!

I got our court papers in the mail 2 days ago.  Freaking out!

I had to have a friend (a fellow foster parent) read them to me because I couldn't hold the papers still...I was shaking too much. 

The goal, after 17 months, is STILL return to parent!

We are listed as a foster/adoptive home. 

The paperwork states what visits bio mom missed, that she has had unauthorized people at Sprout's visits and she has not attended his well-baby visits. 

It ALSO states (are you sitting down?!?!) that bio dad is not released from pri$on until NEXT YEAR!!!  (Up until 2 weeks ago we were told that he gets out in June...next month!!)

I am trying so hard not to be anxious.  You know, cuz the whole "Be anxious for nothing" thing...

Court is in LESS than 2 weeks...  You're praying...RIGHT!?!?!  :)
