When I went to meet my daughter for the very first time before we walked into the foster home, the adoption worker told me there was a rumor that birth mom was pregnant. My daughter was 6 1/2 months at the time.
Our first visit with my daughter's lawyer's investigator, she asked me if I would be interested in adopting the new baby. I said I would be open.
The new baby was born on March 7 and birth mom got to take her home. So far so good and I'm hoping mom stays on the straight and narrow for her sake and this baby's. It looks like 12 times the charm.
My friend's daughter's bio mother was trying to make a deal with DCF. She had hoped if she allowed my friend and her husband to adopt the baby, who just turned 1, then DCF would let her keep the one she's pregnant with. DCF isn't having it.
The CW says he will be alerting the local hospitals so the baby can be taken directly from the hospital.
My friend asked the CW's supervisor what was going to happen with the new baby. The supervisor said if mom was having unsupervised visits, then she could keep the new baby. Well on Aug 26, they are going to court to terminate mom's rights and the new baby is due Aug 27.
Sadly no one is telling mom this because they don't want her going to another county or another state to have the new baby.
My friend is rearranging furniture to make room for a second crib and getting the infant girl clothes ready.
My daughter's adoption which will be finalized this fall will probably be my last one from the state, but I will keep my license for a few years just in case.
