No it is NOT wrong to worry about him. It is wrong in the way a person handles it all. You can do it in a positive way or a negative way. Not that you aren't doing everything you CAN to bring him home. That isn't wrong. Not at all. You love him and want him there. That is how we felt. Only thing is you have to realize your actions can affect him....and focus on staying positive and working thru all this in a positive way. I always say "God won't give us more then we can handle" and that is true. We did all the stuff you did for almost a year and went thru an appeal by the FP's. I understand why they did all they did (not that makes it right but I understand) however I still felt she belonged with us in the end. If he belongs with you he will be with you. Just step back and take a breath....and pamper yourself! You have to be emotionally ready for all this and if he does come there you'll need all the strength you can! You know I'm wishing you all kinds of luck!

And I too felt like you did...I didn't believe in my heart that Alexis would be allowed visits with us either (only because of the way the FP's reacted to us asking for placement). We contacted tons of people along our timeline from attorneys to her CASA to state representatives and even the Governor's office. Just keep going up til you get an answer you want.
