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!

Not sure what to think...January 19, 2015

This past week has been full of swings and turns...nothing out of the ordinary for foster care but nothing like I thought this case would go. 

Monday, January 12- Little Mighty's bios cancelled the visit so they could go to court on the original neglect case.  Visit was rescheduled. 

Wednesday, January 14-  The visit from Monday was rescheduled for today.  From 9am to 10am.  Regularly scheduled visit from 10 to 11am and O/T from 11 until 12am.  He came home FILTHY.  I have been to bios house twice.  It was immaculate.  Not sure where he got so dirty.  Also, his diaper was leaking by the time he came home because no one changed him.  

Friday, January 16- Visits are now in the afternoon so Bailey can visit with Little Mighty.  I got a call 15 minutes before the worker was supposed to be at my house telling me that the visit was cancelled because they had a family social event to go to.  I was told by the family specialist that bios were asking for more time with Little Mighty earlier in the day and they were told that if they keep up with visits and everything keeps going well, they would extend visits.  Then they cancelled.  Go figure. 

Monday, January 19-  No visit today because of the holiday.  No complaints from me.  

Little Mighty is pulling himself up to stand but he has no danger awareness so he lets go and falls.  It is very scary to watch him fall.  So far, no injuries.  THANK GOD!! He said his first word on Saturday (January 17).  He repeated STOP! It was cute.  He is such a happy boy!
