This information is invaluable. I returned their call today from Friday, but of course they did not call me back, again.
I guess the CW was at my inlaws again today, to review paperwork w/ my BIL. She told my MIL she believes this case will drag on for quite awhile. The baby had both his femurs fractured on 2 different day's. It's been determined that 1 happened while the baby was in the care of his mom at her mom's, the other while the baby was in care of my BIL. One is a basic fracture, the other is a spiral fracture. That on top of the neglect charges. The whole case is just sad, and I wish I'd of known something sooner, so we could of prevented this. I never seen either of them treat the baby in a violent manner. With the timeframe they pinpointed for the 1st break, we had seen him 2 days prior to that.
Anyhow, I'm going to call up the chain of command tomorrow until I get someone to listen. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 yrs, we have a 3 bedroom home (w/ 1 of the bedrooms completely ready for the baby). We do rent, but our landlord would give us nothing but a glowing reference. It's a single family ranch we rent. We do have 1 dog, but he's up-to-date w/ his shots, lisc, ect, and not a threat to the baby. He's a shih tzu, not even a questionable breed. My husband works from home, and he is just abosultely wonderful w/ babies and children. So the baby would not need any daytime childcare. I work 4 days a week out of the house though. We have 1 other child, mine who is almost 16. This is the only catch I can think of. I had my son when I was 18. My husband and I have a great relationship w/ my son's paternal family though. They've all offered to come forward as references. I'm just not sure how social services will look on the fact that I was a teen mom and my son is not my husbands bio son. I still graduated college, never was indicated for anything in the line of child abuse (my husband and I have never been arrested for ANYTHING or investigated). We support ourselves fully, and made a good life for us (I have my parents to thank for all their support when I was a young mom). We're both going to be 34 next week. Lastly, my son is fully suppotive of his cousin coming here. He was actually a little upset they are taking so long w/ this.
Anyhow, I just don't see anything glaring there that should stop them from wanting to investigate us at least. I don't understand why they want to drag this on for so long. I've been so discouraged all weekend, all I could think about was my nephew and my heart was breaking. We were not able to see him at the hospital, and we of course have not been able to see him since.
Anyhow, I do want to thank you all for the information, leads, and research. I am most definetly not giving up, and intend to see where I can get tomorrow.
