Holy hell I am tired. DD was coughing from 3-5am so I got 4 hours broken sleep. I need a nap but she always has bad nights on days I work so too bad for me.
Well, we got all worked up for nothing. Absolutely nothing was decided at court today, largely because our caseworker didn't do his job and the required paperwork he was supposed to do for today was not completed. I probably shouldn't go into more detail than that, but I honestly cannot believe our caseworker has not been fired yet. We have requested to have our former caseworker back on the case, and their manager has agreed to that, so hopefully once she is put back on the case, things will be better. Another permanency hearing is scheduled for ~6 weeks from now. So more uncertainty for us for another 6 weeks at least.

ceejay man that really sucks. I'm so sorry. My older sister's bio mom had her rights taken away so my dad and mom had to do a lot of paperwork/adoption stuff and it was a huge pain due to a caseworker who wasn't doing her job.
I'm sorry ceejay . That's really frustrating. Hopefully the next few weeks fly by. At least by then you should know about the baby, right?
Yeah. The baby should be coming in the next couple weeks so at least we'll know more about that situation soon. My H did talk with the bio parents a bit before court and found out what the new baby's name will be. If nothing else, they're really good at picking out names for their kids. I love the baby's name. It's crazy to me that there is this baby who is about to be born and we could either a) never meet him, b) be his foster parents for a period of time, or c) someday be his forever parents. Those are such vastly different outcomes.
ceejay at least you kind of know more about the baby. Small silver linings but so not really helpful when you don't know if you will have him in your household at all.
Kind of feeling the same way with our respite kids even though we now know we are doing it for the next 4 weekends there is still that uncertainty of: will we see them again, will we still be doing respite, will they be put in foster care and placed with us.
It's a very fine line to walk and hard for a lot of people to understand or be able to relate. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm bored and hungry and have to pee. I wish the lone two kids in here would just finish. I get that you get three hours, but you don't have to use the full time. Damn kids, lol
Truth, i would aways encourage kids to make the most of the time.... but would regret it when my bladder started complaining
I was rewarded by leaving an hour and a half early today. No complaints here. There are much worse ways to get paid!

Did they pick another M name?
Yes. I've been trying to guess for a while what name they might pick and had briefly thought of this one but didn't think it would be their style. So I was pleasantly surprised to find out this was what they had decided. It fits really nicely with the other boys names and is a nice name on its own too.

Praying for you guys too! I hope you get some more clarity soon about whether or not the kids will coming to you guys as a full time placement. It's stressful and exhausting living with so much uncertainty.
Yep, silver linings. H and I are pretty adamant on not changing the names of any kids that we get to adopt (some foster/adoptive parents do change names during adoption). So I guess it's a good thing that we like all their names so much, if we do get to adopt them someday.
