Miscarrying a 14 yo!

We have decided after FINALLY reviewing the case file on this child that he is WAY too much for our family to handle. Acute mental hospitalization 1- 2 times a year for suicide and murder threats, running away, stealing, lying, irate behaviors... could deal with maybe one or two of his issues, but...

Now, what to do? We have an acquaintance who fosters through a private agency that I have spoken with, and I was very impressed by the fact that they actually answered the phone, were able to answer my questions, etc... We are considering switching agencies.

I guess we will think about it over the next few days and take some time off to meet with them after Christmas.

I hope you all have a great holiday with your little ones! Avery will have lots of cousins around to entertain him. Poor little guy, wants a brother sooooooo bad... that's he's even willing to take a stinky sister, as long as she is accompanied by a brother!

Slow Developing Pregnancy Test

When it takes longer to find out if you are expecting than it takes an elephant to gestate, you might be dealing with DFCS!!!! The waiting is killing me! And this is just to find out if we might maybe even want to pursue getting more information about "JR". Our case worker was informed that he has been diagnosed bi-polar, but we were also told that there were some big changes made to his case file before it was sent to our cw for review. I will not get attached... I will not get attached... I will not get attached... I will not get attached... I will not get attached... I will not get attached... I will not get attached... I will not get attached... Hopefully we will hear something this week. I hate to think of the perfect time over the holidays that we could use to get to know this boy if we decided. I know it will probably not happen in time, but the ever optimist that I am...
