Today has been one of the hardest days in my life. Today we had to give the boys back to the birth family. We have had kids come and go many times but none have been this difficult. When we arrived to the meeting place we found that the boys dad didn't come. He had other things to do. The mom never said anything to the boys about being glad they are back or she had been waiting for this day to come. She said nothing. When L the 3 yr.old said hi to her she never even responded. We gave her the boys things and helped her to the car. The boys cried and L said over & over I love you Mom and Dad. When she put B in the car she put him in the front seat. B grabbed a lighter and was flicking it. She just said don't do that and let him keep it. She walked around the car and took B out and put him in the back seat. We didn't see the lighter anymore so we don't know what happened to it. She didn't think it was a big deal that he was playing with it she said if she needed any help she would call. I called and turned it in to our casemanager and she said she would let the county know. They are in God's hands and we can do nothing but pray for them now. We wanted God's will to be done but in situations like this it isn't easy to live with it. Now we will focus on praying not only for the boys safety but for the parents to do what is right & that they will have a personal relationship with God. Once again thanks for your prayers.
