ILFosterMom, thank you.
I needed encouragement today. All in all, we have been to court four times since all of this began and we are now awaiting a decision from a judge.
I did call the child abuse hotline and a Guardian Ad Litum was appointed for the child. At the end of the day, the GAL, the social workers, the State of Florida haveall chosen my husband and I to parent this child over the present custodians. Since this is now a dependency case, and the present custodians did request a change of custody, they have now gotten the grandmother, whom I have not spoken with yet, because I have not wanted to upset her with the many horrible truths about what is really going on with this child and her brother and his wife, to now pay for an attorney to fight me in court. I did not know anything about any of this until we went to court on December 12, 2008. We are still awaiting the judge's decision. Their attorney found some mistatements in previous court documents that could help them, so the judge is going to have to deal with those statements, too.
Please, pray for us. The Lord knows who we are and knows our real names.
Thank you for the encouragement. I truly needed it today.
