Hi All,
We have a review hearing set up for tomorrow afternoon. Our son will have been in foster care for 1 1/2 months shy of 1 year now. We have had him almost 5 months. (Keeping your faith) tells of our situation. I haven't heard from the grandma now for 3 weeks and don't know what she is going to do, have him placed with her, or allow us to be his mom and dad forever and have openness with her.

*My fear is we will go to court and nothing will happen at all. No direction of where things are headed. No finality. Just a routine explanation of what we already know.

*Another fear is that the grandmother will speak up and ask for Baby (if she attends as she has attended each hearing this far).

*My hope is that we will have a more clear direction and that Baby will remain with us. I don't know the likelyhood of this. I really do believe it is in his best interest.

I think going through this has distorted my view of what is going on. I just want some answers. I love Baby more and more everyday. He calls me mama and my dh dada. He wants me to console him when he cries, laughs at me when I sing to him... I just ache in my heart at the thought of loosing him.

I should say, last I spoke with his cw, she really felt he might end up remaining with us but, of course isn't able to say for sure.

I would just appreciate any and all your prayers, please. When you eat breakfast or lunch, or anytime, would you remember our family in your prayer? Might you also remember Baby's grandma in prayer as she has a difficult decision to make? I can't see why God would allow us to loose Baby, but I really do want His will to be done.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
Melissa
