Court Dates

Little Bit’s court date: After driving 45 minutes to the court house and waiting 3 hours it was decided that he will remain in care. The judge seemed sympathetic to Little Bit’s situation and said that relatively soon he would like to make a decision on a permanent placement for him.
The lawyer that was representing his mother stated that she was unaware that his mother had been moved to a new facility and that she was not having visits with him. She also wanted to point out that her mental evaluation was 6 months old and that she couldn’t see how anyone could make an educated decision without an up to date evaluation.
Little Bit’s case worker didn’t say a word about how his mother calls her everyday and how she had just talked to her doctors and that they still recommended that she not have visitations with Little Bit and that she remain in care at her current facility.
After it was deemed that we would meet again on November 25th for another court date the case worker told me that Little Bit’s mother’s lawyer would do anything to get her clients reunified with their kids.
That made me a little freaked out and pissed off at the same time. We will not be going back to court without our own lawyer and we also contacted CASA to work for Little Bit’s best interest. We are still wondering why he wasn’t assigned a worker when he was placed in care. We are also still waiting for Little Bit’s SS# for our taxes…..It seems as though someone is dropping the ball somewhere along the way…. I just need to get more aggressive and stay on top of things better I suppose.

Potato also had a court date: This one went much better. It was deemed that her case would reflect abandonment and there is another court date set for July 17th. The case worker is hoping that we will have her adopted by the end of the year!

My oldest son is in Chicago visiting with his bio dad. He has been gone for 1 of the three weeks and it is killing me. I hate when he is away, life is so boring without his little body running around the house.

Little bit almost has another tooth and is crawling like a mad man! He is getting so big and is so happy. Potato is getting big too. She is only 5 pounds less than Little Bit and is 4 month younger.

I have some of my runners over during the day to help me with the babies and organizing my house. One of the little girls made me buy Potato a headband with a bow. I couldn’t even figure out how to attach the bow to the headband, she thought that was very humorous. However, today I bought her another one with two bows to match some of her outfits. I can see how this could get addicting and expensive!
