Longer visits have arrived...

Boy is he hatin' the 6 hours he has away from us! Yep, the judge decided to give her 6 more months of services. We are headed to the final court date in April.  Social Worker has decided it is time to start the 6hr visits 3 times a week.  It took 3 weeks for her to tell me that but they are now here and no one other than BioMom is happy with it.  6 HOURS!!  The first one was a clock watching fest for me.  A much needed nap seemed to be the only true escape from the minute to minute countdown pick-up time.  After we picked him up he slept in the car almost immediately and continued his nap at home for about 3 hrs.

Next step is overnight visits and then the big decision is to be made. Seems quick and easy right?  I wish it was. So much can happen.  I'll share as much as I can.  Remember, just because the final court date is set for April, doesn't mean it's really the "Final" court date! Makes perfect sense!

Night!

Such a crazy system! Poor Little Man, I am sure it feels so confusing to him. As we think about fost adopt, I keep thinking about Little Man and how he is torn between you guys, his bio-mom and then if that didn't work, he would be sent to a family like us. Talk about confusion and pain! Breaks my heart!

Crazy for sure! What Angel's has taught us is that keeping a child in one loving and attentive home till they are in their forever home helps that transition become much easier and less painful. Eases our pain a bit too. :)
