Hi everyone! I got a sibling placement March 5. A is a beautiful blonde, blue eyed little girl who will be 2 in May. Her baby brother B is the cutest baby ever and is 8 months.

A is legally free for adoption
B's mom still has her rights, but she just got kicked out of reunification court yesterday and was informed her rights will be terminated 7/21, B's 1st bday. So the tpr paperwork has begun. We're hoping she'll sign a voluntary and has actually asked for the paperwork to be drawn up in the past but never followed thru on it.

Both kids were with mom's cousins as a kinship placement until the end of January. The home got closed due to domestic violence (nothing to do with the kids). They are appealing this. If they win the appeal we'll lose both kids. But everyone has told us they basically don't stand a chance in winning the appeal. I've learned to take everything the sw's say with a grain of salt because HEY..you just never know what will happen.

So we're sitting tight and loving these little ones and making the adjustment of going from 1 to 3 kids, all 3 and under! And we're hoping it will be smooth sailing and we'll actually be able to finalize by Sept which the sw's are saying.

SOOOOOOOOO glad to be able to join this thread!
