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!

Visit went well...Daisy came home with a few hives. I'm not sure if they're from stress or if mom gave her something questionable. I know that her juice was not watered down. Caseworker dismissed my concern stating that mom and dad only fed her goldfish and juice. Maybe I'm over-reacting...maybe it's the weather...maybe I just feel horrible when Daisy SCREAMS while I change her because her poor little belly is not used to straight juice. Heck she barely drinks anything but water or whole milk. ANYWAY...sounds like visits will go from 2 to 3 hours as of next year (starting in a few weeks). There is no obvious bond between mother and child so we need to torture Daisy with another hour of running from Psycho Chick so the courts are satisfied that reasonable efforts have been made.
That's the system for you!
