WOW .. I can't believe I haven't made it back to this thread since before Christmas and I started it. "slapping my hand"
In my defence I have to say that things were a little scattered after my grandson was diagnosed with ALL .. with mega trips to the hospital during his stay there and several touch and go days and nights when we were not sure he was going to come through. Thank goodness now things are looking better .. still some bad days especially after chemo treatments .. but for the most part he is more himself.
Well Christmas was quiet for us but everybody had fun opening presents (well except the baby). Yes we still have her .. she was 3 months old this week and such a sweetheart .. I love her to pieces (as I do all of them) and will be crying when her "forever family" is found.
It is expected that our 1 1/2 year old will be made permanent ward either this month (if bmom doesn't show up for court) or in April for sure. Then she will be transferred to the native agency and probably moved to a native foster home (yet more tears to shed).
Our almost 3 year old is already a permanent ward and will be with us for some time as I understand it. In a few weeks she will be starting preschool two days a week so she can be with kids her own age and hopefully improve her social skills and language .. although I thought she spoke well.
I am imagining that by summer we will probably have 2 new placements .. or maybe 3 as they are asking us to increase our number to 4 spaces when our license is renewed. At the moment we are not sure about whether we will do this .. but on the other hand if a sibling group needs a placement we might be willing to take the extra little one. Does that make sense?
Enough rambling. Hope everybody who is reading this had a gread holiday season .. that the new year has started off with a bang and things are going well in all your homes.
Hugs to all {{{HUGS}}}}
