Actually, it might be the best thing that could have happened. If I was a judge who was already concerned about her ability to care for a young child (consider the hectic and disruptive lifestyle she has), knowing she now has another infant would seal the deal for me. If I had any thoughts of placing the baby with the g-ma (and this judge had the opportunity to place G with grandma but didn't do it), knowing that the g-ma know has yet ANOTHER small child would just be the straw that broke the camel's back. And it would make it easier for me to say "Look. She's not a good candidate to begin with. She already had her hands full. And now she put herself in a position where she really can't have another child".
To me, having a grandchild newly placed in her home hurts her chances of ever getting "G". Even if she was an outstanding g-ma with a great history, having two small grandchildren (in addition to her own children) would be too much for some people. Considering her history, she'd be overwhelmed if any more children were added to her home.
I'll be praying for you and baby G (and the judge-that she does what's best for the baby)

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.
