We have our first parent team meeting on Thursday morning. I'm sending my husband because of the "issues" with the psycho step-dad. I don't know that we'll have much of a say in what happens. There are sooo many parties involved in this deal right now. We have the birth mom, her new husband (of less than a week), and her sister. We have the birth dad (never married to the birth mom but fathered three kids) and his mom and his step-dad. We have a case worker, her assistant, a guardian ad litem for the kids, and a representative for the State Attorney General's office. And then there's us. We'll be there mostly so that we know what's going on. Our case worker is not that great about calling us and it's so much easier to learn it ourselves. Plus, this first meeting we'll be battling over visitation and hopefully having my husband there will make it easier to get our needs heard and supported. Of course, on a more negative note, it also makes us a visible/known target for the parties who still see us and the state as the enemy (because we have the kids).
