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!

Smiley's gone...

Smiley left us a few days ago. He is now with paternal grandma, who has custody of him. Found out from grandma that bio mom refused drug court. That scares me only because bio mom was doing so well.  My fear is that now grandma has custody, bio mom will become complacent in working a plan and Smiley will linger with grandma.  This was not good news. I know drug court is hard and there are many requirements but there is a lot of accountability and bio mom had a fast chance at getting him back.  I know grandma loves him and he'll be ok.  I wish him the best.

No news on the heart baby.  I don't think it's happening.  I'm waiting on a friend to bring her foster baby here for a week.  Spicy Girl is 8 months old and tiny.  Just respite but I'm excited...

Going and coming...

Smiley is packed up and ready to leave to go to paternal grandma's tomorrow.  This is the third time he's been packed but I have been  assured that the paperwork is in and the county is recommending that he be placed with grandma. So, we'll know more in the morning.  

I called the agency home finder regarding more information on the heart baby and as of this morning CPS had not been contacted and a report had not been filed on biological parents. I'm not getting my hopes up with this one.  So, by this time tomorrow, the house should be a bit more quiet.

Still here...

Well, Smiley is still here. The agency worker called after court to tell me that he'll be staying until the SCR clearances come back for grandma.  Funny thing is, she is a state employee. So, I get to love on Smiley a bit longer.  His first tooth is finally coming through (bottom left) and he is much happier.  He is still chewing on everything and drooling a ton so I'm sure there's will be more teeth poking through soon.
