Thank you soooo much for the insight :-) I appreciate it very much! I realize they will try to press about the brother too, as I have noticed they continue to put him on letters with the sisters, although I had said I can only take the two. I told them that if they couldn't give me just the girls, and they found a good home for all 3 that that would even be better than me trying to handle the boy. The worker who was here, took notes during our one hour meeting, so I know she wrote it down and reviewed that with whomever she reports to. So, hopefully, they do realize this even if they do pressure, hopefully they realize I openly admit I could not handle it and do not feel it would be fair to him. The boy lives with a pastor and his wife right now and is in a wonderful environment. I am crossing my *fingers* that perhaps they wish to adopt him. I was thinking along the lines you had mentioned, about maintaining the contact so that the siblings could have some sort of relationship growing up :-) . I know the boy is a handful and he is 13. He has already had juvenile delinquency problems and has alot of rage built up. I feel really bad, but I have to remain realistic too! So at any rate, I can stand up the pressure I believe and I do believe the girls are better with me than with any other person! But like I said, if they MUST keep them together, I feel they should find a home where the boy can be given "equal" attention and his needs can be more adequately attended to. I have four boys of my own and then with 2 girls, I think I will have my plate full LOL.
