He is only 5 days old, we picked him up on saturday. I have to say that I am dissapointed but not heartbroken as I have not let my guard down yet. But it brings up all the sadness I am feeling at the thought of losing our 8 month old next week ( not definite but likely). He has been here for four months.
I was looking forward to the holiday but not really anymore, and it is usually my favorite time.
We have decided not to take anymore kids until after christmas, unless we get called for someone who is already tpr'd, or one of our kids comes back into the system.
I continue to be dissapointed that judges constantly disregard what is actually in the child's best interests in favor of family members (not that this is always true but it has been my experience with 3 out of 4 placements).
I have also made lots of calls for kids who are photolisted in various states, as well as our own. And either, no one gets back to us or the child is already placed. We are very close to giving up.
