Well I have a placement. 2 days ago I took in a newborn. I brought her home from NICU. She is what has traditionally been called a legal risk placement. birthmom has had all 3 of her other children TPRed and tested positive for meth and marijuana at the birth of this one. Baby was taken at birth. Baby is a premie with some minor issues, but I love her already! 
She has visits set up with BPs and GM next week (but the cw hasn't heard back from any of them and they haven't called her). They have to do a new home study on GM (who failed each time they tried to place the last 3 with her) but other than that I am hoping that she is here for the long haul.
Can I admit to being petrified?
