We go to court tomorrow for TPR. Birth mom has threatened to show up with a "dad."

The adoption worker and others involved in the case feel birth mom was just talking and because she just had baby number 12 that she more than likely will be laying low so DCF won't take the newest baby.

I also talked to one of her children's father and he told me that birth mom hadn't been inside the courtroom since 3 babies ago when the judge ordered her to have her tubes tied. Occasionally she goes to court and waits in the waiting area but does not go inside the courtroom. I imagine she goes to talk to her lawyer, perhaps, I don't know.

The baby has been in care going on 13 months and birth mom has since her twice. Once when the baby was in care 5 months. And once when the baby was in care 9 months. This second visit she was over an hour late. To my knowledge she hasn't worked any of her case plan.

I guess what is causing me some concern is that I'm the first non-family member/family friend to adopt one of her children. She has access to all of her other children, mine would be the first one she wouldn't.

Plus there is always that unknown factor called the judge. I will be so glad when I hear from the baby's lawyer, hopefully tomorrow after court. I don't think my heart could wait to hear from her on Friday.
