The sole reason why I haven't meet this child or spoke to the foster mother is ... She does not know me and didn't feel comfortable with people she doesn't know in her home or talking on the phone. The social worker didn't want to make alternative arrangement because she strongly supports the transition starting in the child's home.

I asked could we meet in the park, daycare or my home. That was turned down because of the social worker's strong belief of success of this type of transitioning. She feels its in the best interest of the child. I didn't press because if my suggestion didn't work out well and the child freaks out it may take even longer for him to move in with me. I won't have anyone to blame but myself. ( Patience) She agreed to one visit next week. I'll try my best to make her comfortable with me. I am a mother, teacher and a Christian. I hope that makes her feel at ease around me. I could make this up if I wanted to lol
