They say they want the girls back, yet they cancelled both Friday visits the last two weeks and don't get to make them up-"it just wasn't a good week". Neither one has a job - so it isn't like they have anything else going on to keep them from visiting. I feel awful for my kids - as soon as they hear the word visit (in any conversation) they think tomorrow is the day. We can't even do a count down on the calendar b/c the parents are unreliable.

I was so focused on getting these girls back home, but I am loosing faith. They are going on being in care for 6 months and they are no closer to going home. I am trying hard to not get too attached and not to think they are staying with us, but reality is setting in.

Help......... I am really struggling. I really like their mom and K really wants to go back home (she is 3) and we don't know that we could afford to keep them (paying for 2 more in daycare - we already have one)...so I don't know what to think ... I know stop thinking and let it all happen, but boy not having control is HARD!!

Sometimes I just want to meet up with the parents and shake them to wake them up.........come on parents meet us part way - making all the visits is the first step in the proces.....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
