Ok so none of the case workers ever called me back.....
Which is fine and probably for the better. We'll just continue to enjoy our time off from parenthood.
Despite my Mom's statement that the kids were "perfect" and she couldn't see herself loving other kids she was fairly disappointed no one called us back. She surprised herself. She started to picture being grandma with other kids. This made me feel tons better. She was beside herself saying goodbye to the kids.
The non-response gave me more time to come up with my list of questions for whichever case worker does call me back. It includes way more questions about visitation, time in care, providers, and history. Gone are the days where age and race/ethnicity were my main concern.
Home is where your story begins. Welcome to my home. This blog is about a family formed through foster care adoption as we navigate parenting children with early childhood trauma, open adoption, and the child welfare system.

ReplyDeleteIt's probably for the best that you didn't get a placement just yet. Have you heard anything about the kids now that they're with Mom?
